The connection between excess body fatness and liver function is an important topic in metabolic medicine. This session of the International Obesity and Metabolism Conference will look at the interactions between obesity, insulin resistance, liver fat, inflammation, metabolic disorder, and liver disease.
The presentations can be about metabolic disorder-associated steatohepatitis, liver fat, risk of liver fibrosis, metabolic markers, interaction of the liver and adipose tissue, diagnosis, and monitoring of the progression of disease. The researchers will also consider the impact of lifestyle, nutritional factors, physical activity, and metabolic therapy on liver function.
The importance of an integrated approach to metabolism and liver function will be emphasized in the session. Specialists in hepatology, endocrinology, nutrition, obesity medicine, and public health will speak about early detection, prevention, reduction of risk, and new treatment options.
