Beta-cell, but not autonomic nervous system, function is related to MAFLD in early stages of glucose intolerance
Our results do not support a role for parasympathetic activity in MAFLD. Rather, they show that stimulated hyperinsulinemia may be associated with greater risk of MAFLD irrespective of glucose tolerance in a high-risk population without diabetes.
