The symposium, "Role of Nutrition in Alcoholic Liver Disease", was held at the European Society for Biomedical Research on Alcoholism Congress on 9 October 2017 in Crete, Greece. The goal of the symposium was to highlight recent advances and developments in the field of alcohol and nutrition. The symposium was focused on experimental and clinical aspects in relation to the role of different types of dietary nutrients and malnutrition in the pathogenesis of alcoholic liver disease (ALD). The following is a summary of key research presented at this session. The speakers discussed the role of dietary fats and carbohydrates in the development and progression of alcohol-induced multi-organ pathology in animal models of ALD, analyzed novel nutrition-related therapeutics (specifically, betaine and zinc) in the treatment of ALD, and addressed clinical relevance of malnutrition and nutrition support in ALD. This summary of the symposium will benefit junior and senior faculty currently investigating alcohol-induced organ pathology as well as undergraduate, graduate, and post-graduate students and fellows.
本次研讨会的主题为“营养在酒精性肝病中的作用”，于 2017 年 10 月 9 日在希腊克里特岛举行的欧洲酒精研究生物医学学会大会上举行。本次研讨会的目的是强调酒精和营养领域的最新进展和发展。本次研讨会主要集中在与不同类型膳食营养素和营养不良在酒精性肝病（ALD）发病机制中的作用相关的实验和临床方面。以下是本次会议上提出的关键研究的总结。演讲者讨论了膳食脂肪和碳水化合物在动物模型中ALD 诱导的多器官病理学发展和进展中的作用，分析了新型与营养相关的治疗方法（特别是甜菜碱和锌）在治疗 ALD 中的作用，并探讨了营养不良和营养支持在 ALD 中的临床意义。本研讨会的总结将使目前正在研究酒精诱导的器官病理学的初级和高级教员以及本科生、研究生和博士后受益。
