Insulin Resistance Increases MRI-Estimated Pancreatic Fat in Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Normal Controls
Figure 3
MRI-estimated pancreatic and liver fat content versus insulin resistance. Mean magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) proton-density-fat-fraction (PDFF) of pancreas and liver is shown for all patients in control and NAFLD groups. Participants with homeostatic-model-of-insulin-resistance (HOMA-IR) score less than the median value of 2.5 compared to participants with HOMA-IR greater than 2.5. -value determined using a two-tailed -test.
