Adherence to Mediterranean diet and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: Effect on insulin resistance

The American Journal of Gastroenterology | October 27, 2017

Baratta F, et al. – For this research, the physicians examined the association between Mediterranean Diet (Med-Diet) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). In addition, they investigated the effect of Med-Diet on insulin resistance. An inverse relationship was found between Med-Diet and NAFLD prevalence. Good adherence to Med-Diet was correlated with lower insulin resistance among NAFLD patients. The findings proposed that in NAFLD patients, Med-Diet could be a beneficial nutritional approach.
