Obesity and insulin resistance play a major role in the development of liver steatosis (LS), but also relative leptin resistance has been reported to correlate with LS in humans. Our objective was to investigate the relationship between serum leptin, insulin, obesity and LS in non-diabetic males (n = 74) and postmenopausal females (n = 50) with normal transaminase levels and low-to-moderate alcohol intake.
