Hepatic steatosis affects 20% to 30% of the general adult population in the western world. Currently, the technique of choice for determining hepatic fat deposition and the stage of fibrosis is liver biopsy. However, it is an invasive procedure and its use is limited, particularly in children. It may also be subject to sampling error. Non-invasive techniques such as ultrasound, computerised tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H MRS) can detect hepatic steatosis, but currently cannot distinguish between simple steatosis and steatohepatitis, or stage the degree of fibrosis accurately. Ultrasound is widely used to detect hepatic steatosis, but its sensitivity is reduced in the morbidly obese and also in those with small amounts of fatty infiltration. It has been used to grade hepatic fat content, but this is subjective. CT can detect hepatic steatosis, but exposes subjects to ionising radiation, thus limiting its use in longitudinal studies and in children. Recently, magnetic resonance (MR) techniques using chemical shift imaging have provided a quantitative assessment of the degree of hepatic fatty infiltration, which correlates well with liver biopsy results in the same patients. Similarly, in vivo 1H MRS is a fast, safe, non-invasive method forthe quantification of intrahepatocellular lipid (IHCL) levels. Both techniques will be useful tools in future longitudinal clinical studies, either in examining the natural history of conditions causing hepatic steatosis (e.g. non-alcoholic fatty liver disease), or in testing new treatments for these conditions.

Background: The presence of polycystic ovarian morphology (PCO) without the other characteristics of the polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is insufficient for the diagnosis of PCOS and there is little justification for follow up in endocrine clinics for women with PCO morphology alone. A few studies have been reported regarding the endocrine features of asymptomatic women with PCO with conflicting data about endocrine profiling. The aim of this study was to assess whether women with PCO, but who have no symptoms of PCOS differ, endocrinologically, from women with normal ovaries.?Methods: We analysed the results of ultrasound and endocrine investigations in 576 consecutive women who attended the infertility clinic between 1993 and 1995 at the Reproductive Medicine Unit of St Mary’s Hospital, Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, London, UK. Results: Three hundred and twenty eight women had PCO and 248 had normal ovaries. Among the 328 women with PCO, 169 (51.5%) had PCOS according to Rotterdam criteria. The remaining women with PCO had no symptoms of the syndrome (n = 159);they had a history of regular menses, had proven ovulatory cycles and had neither clinical nor biochemical evidence of hyperandrogenism. However, these women had higher timed LH [median (IQR) 5.3 (4.2) IU/l vs 4.8 (3.4) IU/l, respectively;p = 0.044] and testosterone [2.0 (0.8) nmol/l vs 1.8 (0.8), respectively;p = 0.009] compared with women with normal ovaries (although by definition within the normal range). There was no difference in BMI or FSH between the two groups. Among the 169 women with PCOS, 45.0% (n = 76) were anovulatory without hyperandrogenism, 34.3% (n = 58) fulfilled the NIH criteria and 20.7% (n = 35) were ovulatory with hyperandrogenism. The proportion of hyperandrogenism among anovulatory women with PCO is 43.3% (58 out of 134).?Conclusions: Women with PCO, but no symptoms of the syndrome, differ endocrinologically compared with women with normal ovaries: they had higher timed L
