Study of the body mass index,insulin resistance and liver enzymes in the fatty liver disease patients

Objective Body mass index(BMI) is an effective index of obesity.The fatty liver disease is closely related with metabolic syndrome including obesity and diabetes.This paper is to study the relationship among BMI,alanine aminotransferase(ALT),aspartate aminotransferase(AST),gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase(γ-GT) and insulin resistance(IR) in the fatty liver disease.Methods Detected the height,weight,serum lipid,ALT,AST,γ-GT,Glucose and serum insulin in the fatty liver patients by measured with color ultrasonography.Results The ages in different BMI liver fatty disease patients older than that in the control group.The age and ALT in the female liver fatty disease patients of the overweight and obesity groups were higher than that in the female control group with liver fatty disease.AST,γ-GT in the female liver fatty disease patients had no significance among the different BMI groups.The ALT,AST and γ-GT in the male liver fatty disease patients of obesity group were higher than that in the male control group with liver fatty disease.The triglycerides(TG) and IR in the different BMI groups with liver fatty disease were respectively higher than the different BMI groups with no liver fatty disease.The IR and TG were increased as the BMI added. Conclusion The results suggested that the fatty liver disease patients had hypertriglyceridema,IR and abnormal liver enzymes,which was related with BMI.
