| Core Tip |
Recent studies in children demonstrate that the prevalence of prediabetes increases with the increase in hepatic fat content,and that fatty liver plays a central role in the impairment of liver, muscle,and adipose insulin sensitivity. Pancreatic fat has been identified as a novel obesity-related fat depot, which may contribute to the development of β-cell dysfunction. This study demonstrates that in overweight/obese children with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), pancreatic fat is increased compared with those without NAFLD. However, only liver fat is independently related to prediabetes. Early intervention during childhood to recognize NAFLD might be a crucial step in averting an unfavorable metabolic phenotype. |
