GPT and Insulin resistance: Beyond these two parameters, the degree of improvement in hepatic lobular inflammation was also related with improvement in peripheral (liver and muscle) insulin resistance (PERIPH‐ISI) and with plasma ALT (r = −.38, P = .02 and r = .33, P < .05, respectively), while amelioration of ballooning also showed a significant correlation a reduction in mean plasma glucose during the OGTT (r = .37, P = .02), associations also proved by multivariable analysis (ie adjusted for key variables).
