The association between hepatic steatosis, vitamin D status, and insulin resistance in adolescents with obesity
The metabolic response to changes in vitamin D status in adolescents with IR may vary based on racial and ethnic differences and liver fat status. These findings underscore the importance of considering liver fat and racial/ethnic background in vitamin D and metabolic health studies. Future research with more extensive and diverse cohorts spanning the fatty liver disease spectrum is needed to clarify these relationships.
