Adipose tissue dysfunction is causally linked to NAFLD since it causes intrahepatic triglyceride (IHTG) accumulation through increased hepatic lipid flow, due to insulin resistance and pro\u2010inflammatory adipokines release. While many studies in NAFLD have looked at total adiposity (i.e. mainly subcutaneous fat, SC\u2010AT), it is still unclear the possible impact of visceral fat (VF). Thus, we investigated how VF versus SC\u2010AT was related to NAFLD severity in lean, overweight and obese individuals versus lean controls.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Thirty\u2010two non\u2010diabetic NAFLD with liver biopsy (BMI 21.4\u201334.7\u00a0kg\/m\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      ) and eight lean individuals (BMI 19.6\u201322.8\u00a0kg\/m\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      ) were characterized for fat distribution (VF, SC\u2010AT and IHTG by magnetic resonance imaging), lipolysis and insulin resistance by tracer infusion, free fatty acids (FFAs) and triglyceride (TAG) concentration and composition (by mass spectrometry).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Intrahepatic triglyceride was positively associated with lipolysis, adipose tissue insulin resistance (Adipo\u2010IR), TAG concentrations, and increased saturated\/unsaturated FFA ratio. Compared to controls VF was higher in NAFLD (including lean individuals), increased with fibrosis stage and associated with insulin resistance in liver, muscle and adipose tissue, increased lipolysis and decreased adiponectin levels. Collectively, our results suggest that VF accumulation, given its location close to the liver, is one of the major risk factors for NAFLD.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n
