Insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome in nonobese Indian patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Background: Insulin resistance has been recognized as a major factor in the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The association between insulin resistance and NAFLD, as a risk factor independent of obesity has been less well established. This study aims to determine presence of insulin resistance and components of metabolic syndrome in non-obese patients with NAFLD.

Life style modification improves insulin resistance and liver histology in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Aim: To study the effect of regular aerobic exercise on insulin resistance, serum aminotransferase and liver histology in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) patients.

Methods: Sixty (mean age 40.0 ± 8.

Effect of exercise and dietary modification on serum aminotransferase levels in patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis.

Background: Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is commonly associated with overweight and insulin resistance. Aerobic exercise is known to reduce insulin resistance. We studied the effect of regular aerobic exercise on serum aminotransferase levels in patients with NASH.
