TL;DR: The final purpose is to improve patient care and awareness of the importance of NAFLD, and to assist stakeholders in the decision-making process by providing evidence-based data, which also takes into consideration the burden of clinical management for the healthcare system.

TL;DR: A metabolically benign obesity that is not accompanied by insulin resistance and early atherosclerosis exists in humans and ectopic fat in the liver may be more important than visceralfat in the determination of such a beneficial phenotype in obesity.

TL;DR: In the present review, available imaging modalities (ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy) are presented which are employed to detect or even quantify the fat content of the liver.

TL;DR: This study demonstrates for the first time that noninvasive in vivo 1H MRS measurement of intracellular TG, including that within myocytes, is feasible at 1.5-T field strengths and is comparable in accuracy to biochemical measurement.

TL;DR: In these well-matched groups of lean subjects, IMCL is increased in insulin-resistant offspring of type 2 diabetic subjects when compared with an insulin-sensitive group matched for age, BMI, body fat distribution, percent body fat, and degree of physical fitness.
