Abstract

Objective:We determined whether fat accumulation in the liver is associated with features of insulin resistance independent of obesity. Research Methods and Procedures:We recruited 27 obese nondiabetic women in whom liver fat (LFAT) content was determined by proton spectroscopy, intra‐abdominal and subcutaneous fat by magnetic resonance imaging, and insulin sensitivity by the euglycemic insulin clamp technique. The women were divided based on their median LFAT content (5%) to groups with low (3.2 ± 0.3%) and high (9.8 ± 1.5%) liver fat. The groups were almost identical with respect to age (36 ± 1 vs. 38 ± 1 years in low vs. high‐LFAT), body mass index (32.2 ± 0.6 vs. 32.8 ± 0.5 kg/m 2), waist‐to‐hip ratio, intra‐abdominal, subcutaneous, and total fat content. Results:Women with high LFAT had features of insulin resistance including higher fasting serum triglyceride (1.93 ± 0.21 vs. 1.11 ± 0.09 mM,p< 0.01) and insulin (14 ± 3 vs. 10 ± 1 mU/L,p< 0.05) concentrations than women with low LFAT. The group with high LFAT also had higher 24‐hour blood pressures, and lower whole‐body insulin sensitivity compared with the low‐LFAT group. Discussion:In obese women with previous gestational diabetes, LFAT, rather than any measure of body composition, is associated with features of insulin resistance.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
