Background: Elevated hepatic fat is common in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and hyperlipidemia and associated with an increased risk for liver fibrosis/cirrhosis and cardiovascular events. The aim of this study was to compare the extent of hepatic fat content in T2DM with subjects with normal glucose tolerance (NGT). Methods: 20 T2DM and 20 hyperlipidemic NGT male patients treated at our outpatient clinic of the Medical University of Vienna were included in the study. All underwent magnetic resonance spectroscopy which was performed with 3 Tesla Siemens MRT. The non-diabetic subjects recevied a 3-hour 75 g oral glucose…
