Fat accumulation in the liver has been shown to be closely correlated with hepatic insulin resistance and features of insulin resistance, even independent of body weight. The reason for interindividual variation in liver fat content is unknown. Cross-sectional data suggest that dietary fat content may influence liver fat, but this possibility has not been directly tested in humans.
