Summary

This study looked at how different insulin levels impact blood sugar in 18 adults with overweight, insulin resistance, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Participants underwent two procedures where insulin was either kept steady or slowly reduced, and researchers measured changes in blood sugar and other markers. The goal was to better understand the role of high insulin in NAFLD, not to test a treatment.
