About paper

Funding: this study was part of the public contract 0221-2017-0049 and was carried out using the equipment of the shared facility Complex Basic and Applied Research of Living Systems in the Arctic of the Institute of Biology, Karelian Research Center. The work was also sponsored by a scholarship of the President of the Russian Federation for young scientists and graduate students engaged in advanced research and development in priority areas of modernization of the Russian economy in 2015-2017 years. The authors also received support from Petrozavodsk State University as part of the efforts for its strategic development in 2013– 2017 (R&D 115070110006, Information reference map 216022450003, registered February 24, 2016) under the project for the Development of Technologies for Diagnostic Screening for Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in Overweight Patients and Patients with Metabolic Syndrome (ID 9173GU/2015 dated December 15, 2015) of the UMNIK program.
