TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the association of habitual physical activity, insulin resistance, and adiponectin with intrahepatic fat (IHF) content and found that a higher level of physical activity is associated with a lower IHF content and suggested that this relationship may be due to the effect of exercise per se.

TL;DR: In newly found individuals with fatty liver, fat was accumulated in the epicardial area and despite normal LV morphological features and systolic and diastolic functions, they had abnormal LV energy metabolism.

TL;DR: NAFLD is common in childhood obesity, and insulin resistance is present in association with increased trunk fat content, whereas the rearrangement of whole body substrate oxidation in these youngsters appeared to be an independent feature.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated left ventricular (LV) structure/geometry and function in relation to energy metabolism and cardiovascular risk factors in overweight/obese men using magnetic resonance techniques.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that excessive ectopic fat accumulation in the liver and skeletal muscle of insulin-resistant subjects is associated with lower serum resistin concentration and not with hyperresistinemia.
