The serum level of the endotoxemia-related biomarker, LBP, decreases after one-year weight management in the obese subjects. In addition to serving as a metainflammatroy biomarker like hs-CRP, LBP may also be a potential biomarker as a non-invasive biomarker for the evaluation of liver fibrosis in NAFLD.
