STRENGTH TRAINING IMPROVES INSULIN RESISTANCE AND FATTY LIVER IN DIET-INDUCED OBESITY MODEL

Obesity is considered an independent risk factor for the development of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). MAFLD is characterized by excessive fatty liver, and may be associated with inflammation and insulin resistance (IR). Non-pharmacological strategies, such as strength training (ST), have been investigated regarding their efficacy in attenuating MAFLD.
