Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a hepatic disorder that develops in the absence of alcohol intake. Obesity and diabetes are considered risk factors for the development of fatty liver; however, whether fatty liver is the cause or consequence of these conditions is not yet clear. Insulin resistance (IR) is found to be a common risk factor for the development of diabetes, obesity and fatty liver.
