Insulin resistance and fatty liver disease

October 11th, 2006 | by David Spelts |

Add fatty liver disease to the list of diseases associated with the metabolic sydrome (aka syndrome x).

Note that those with higher levels of intrahepatic fat (IHF) had lower levels of fat oxidation while fasting and less insulin sensitivity. High insulin levels basically shut down fat oxidation altogether, these subjects remained partially in that state around the clock.
