U-Shaped Relationship exists Between TyG Levels and Diabetes Risk in NAFLD Patients, confirms study
Researchers have established in a new study that triglyceride-glucose (TyG) levels have a U-shaped correlation with the development of diabetes in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The study was published in the journal of BMC Lipids in Health and Disease by Xiaomin and fellow researchers. This study aimed to investigate the impact of baseline TyG values on the development of diabetes in normoglycemic adults with NAFLD.
Diabetes is a state of hyperglycemia that is most often caused by insulin resistance (IR) or inadequate insulin secretion. NAFLD is the most prevalent global chronic liver illness, with the prevalence estimated at 25% of adults. The TyG index, which is measured based on triglyceride (TG) levels and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels, is widely regarded as being linked with IR. In NAFLD, though, there is no well-characterized direct correlation between the TyG levels and the risk of diabetes.
