NAFLD increases diabetes risk via mechanisms that increase the secretion of hepatokines such as fetuin-A, and plasminogen-activator inhibitor-1 [40], increase gluconeogenesis, decrease glycogen synthesis, and inhibit insulin signaling [41, 42]; Metabolically at-risk is closely correlated with visceral adiposity [43]. The gene discussed is AHSG; the disease is metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.
