The association between atherosclerosis and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

ABSTRACT: Atherosclerosis (AS) is closely related to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which promotes and exacerbates the development of AS. However, it is uncertain how the precise underlying mechanism occurs. Here, we attempted to further explore the association underlying atherosclerosis and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease through integrated bioinformatics analysis. Microarray data for atherosclerosis and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease were retrieved from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was used to identify the genes related to atherosclerosis and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease showing co-expression. Additionally, the common gene targets associated with atherosclerosis and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease were also anal
