pubmed:abstractText
Hepatic steatosis has recently been associated with insulin resistance and other metabolic abnormalities as a possible feature of the metabolic syndrome, but it is still uncertain how hepatic steatosis and insulin sensitivity are connected. Furthermore, obesity is a well characterized insulin resistant condition that is often associated with hepatic steatosis. The aim of this study was to verify whether hepatic steatosis further worsens insulin sensitivity in obese subjects by comparing the degree of insulin sensitivity in obese subjects with normal glucose tolerance on the basis of the presence or absence of hepatic steatosis.
