Summary
This study looked at whether a drug called diazoxide, which lowers high insulin levels, can change how the liver handles fat and sugar in people with overweight or obesity who have or are at risk for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Twenty-four adults took either a low or high dose of diazoxide or a placebo for two weeks. Researchers measured blood sugar, insulin, and fat levels to understand the role of high insulin in NAFLD.
