The growing diffusion of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD) is a consequence of the worldwide increase in the prevalence of obesity.Oxidative stress is widely recognized to play a pivotal role in NAFLD evolution to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis(NASH).Here we review recent evidence suggesting that oxidative stress-derived antigens originating within fatty livers stimulate both humoral and cellular adaptive immune responses and the possible mechanisms involved in sustaining hepatic inflammation in NASH.
