Abstract:
Studies have pointed to insulin resistance as a pathogenic factor in fatty liver. Although pancreatic B-cell function is believed to be involved, its role is unclear. This study was undertaken to test whether fasting C-peptide, an index of fasting B-cell function, was related to intra-hepatic fat (IHF) content in non-diabetic humans.
