Decrease in fasting insulin secretory function correlates with significant liver fibrosis in Japanese non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease patients

Background and Aim Non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is typically associated with metabolic syndrome and diabetes, and insulin resistance is involved in its pathogenesis. However, the relationship between insulin secretion and NAFLD is unclear. We aimed to characterize the relationship between fasting insulin secretory function (ISF), evaluated using the homeostatic model assessment‐beta cell function (HOMA‐β) and the severity of...
