We measured liver fat content by 3-Tesla magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) in 34 non- to mild obese Japanese subjects with type 2 diabetes, who were riot complicated with any liver diseases including clinical fatty liver (liver/spleen ratio of cornputed tomography [CT] < 0.9) and were riot being treated with oral hypoglycemic agents, insulin, or lipid-lowering agents, and analyzed the relation-ship between liver fat content and body composition and plasma metabolite. The liver fat content is significantly correlated with variables relating to obesity (body mass index [BMI], body weight, fat mass, waist to hip ratio, visceral fat area, subcutaneous fat area, and serum triglyceride), insulin resistance (fasting plasma insulin and homeostasis model assessment Of insulin resistance [HOMA-IR]), adipocytokines (serum plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 [PAI-1] and leptin), and serum cholinesterase, but riot CT liver/spleen ratio, which is correlated only with fasting plasma glucose, BMI, and HOMA-IR. Multiple regression analysis revealed that the liver fat content is independently associated with serum PAI-1 level (p < 0.001) and BMI (p < 0.05), but riot visceral fat area. MRS is a more sensitive method for quantifying liver fat content than CT in type 2 diabetic subjects with non-to mild obesity and without clinical fatty liver.
