Intrahepatic Lipid Content and Insulin Resistance Are More Strongly Associated with Impaired NEFA Suppression after Oral Glucose Loading Than with Fasting NEFA Levels in Healthy Older Individuals

Figure 1

NEFA levels during standard 120-minute 75 g oral glucose tolerance test in participants with intrahepatic lipid ≤5.5% (dashed line) versus those with intrahepatic lipid >5.5%, that is, NAFLD (solid line). Data are presented as mean ± SE. values are derived from linear regression modelling with IHL treated as a continuous outcome variable and the exposure being the area under the NEFA curve, adjusted for age, gender, alcohol consumption, and visceral fat area.
