Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is
associated with altered peripheral and hepatic insulin sensitivity and to investigate
potential mechanisms underlying insulin resistance in NAFLD by determining associations
between hepatic and peripheral insulin sensitivity, hepatic steatosis, dyslipidemia,
inflammatory cytokines, glucose metabolism, beta-cell function and body fat distribution.
