Miyauchi S, et al. - In the present study, researchers analyzed the association between insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and liver fibrosis markers in type 2 diabetes patients without obvious alcoholic consumption and determined whether IGF-1 is related to fibrosis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Between May 2013 and December 2016, 415 patients with type 2 diabetes without obvious alcohol consumption who were admitted to Uwajima City Hospital were selected. In type 2 diabetes mellitus patients without obvious alcoholic consumption, IGF-1 was inversely linked to liver fibrosis markers. The measurement of IGF-1 serum levels could help physicians identify patients with advanced non-alcoholic steatohepatitis with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
