Aim: To investigate the associations of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) subfractions and apolipoprotein A-I (apo A-I) with fat in the pancreas.
Methods: A total of 170 individuals were studied. All participants underwent magnetic resonance imaging on a single 3.
Aim: To investigate the relationship of fat in the pancreas with time spent in different glycaemic ranges.
Methods: Abdominal magnetic resonance imaging at 3.0 Tesla was used to quantify fat in the pancreas as both continuous [i.
Background: Liver is well recognised as a metabolically active organ. While intra-pancreatic fat deposition (IPFD) is emerging as an important player in the whole-body metabolism, the interplay between the liver and IPFD has been poorly investigated. This study aimed to investigate the associations of liver blood tests and non-invasive tests for hepatic fibrosis with IPFD.
