Summary
The study is designed to investigate the relationship between insulin resistance and
non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) 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.
