Effect of Endurance Exercise on Hepatic Lipid Content, Enzymes, and Adiposity in Men and Women

Obesity and physical inactivity are independent risk factors for the development of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We determined the effect of endurance exercise training on hepatic lipid content and hepatic enzyme concentration in men and women. Waist circumference (WC), percent body fat (BF), computed tomography (CT) scans for liver attenuation (inverse relationship with hepatic lipid), bilirubin, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and...
