Insulin resistance and NAFLD: relationship with intrahepatic iron and serum TNF- α using 1H MR spectroscopy and MRI.

CONCLUSION: IR is closely associated with intrahepatic triglycerides and, to a lesser extent, intrahepatic iron, with some interplay between them. High serum TNF-α concentrations may contribute to the association between NAFLD and IR, while increased hepatic triglycerides appear to be a determinant of the development of HIOL in non-diabetic subjects without haemochromatosis.
