Core Tip	Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is increasing significantly due to the obesity epidemic. Insulin resistance, mainly caused by obesity, plays a primary role in NAFLD pathogenesis. Medications that improve insulin sensitivity are theorized to be useful in the treatment of NAFLD. Therefore, recent studies have explored the role of insulin sensitizers to improve biochemical and histological features of NAFLD.
