Serum fetuin-B is positively associated with intrahepatic triglyceride content and increases the risk of insulin resistance in obese Chinese adults: A cross-sectional study

Background Fetuin‐B impairs insulin action in myotubes and hepatocytes and causes glucose intolerance in mice. This study explored the correlation between serum fetuin‐B and intrahepatic triglyceride (IHTG) content, and the association between fetuin‐B and the risk of insulin resistance in the general adult population. Methods A cross‐sectional study of 1318 obese adults who underwent serum fetuin‐B testing and hepatic ultrasonography was...
