Low N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide levels are associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in patients with type 2 diabetes
Abstract
Natriuretic peptides (NPs) have emerged as important regulators of lipid metabolism. Reduced levels of NPs are reported in obesity and in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). This NP deficiency may affect their ectopic fat distribution and lead to high risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). In this cross-sectional study, the association between N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and liver fat content was quantified...
