Table 1.

Comparison of NAFLD Pathophysiology mechanisms between in T1D and T2D.

NAFLD pathophysiological mechanisms T1D T2D
Insulin resistance + +++
Altered dynamic of insulin delivery ++
Altered insulin clearance +++ +
Relative insulin resistance in hepatocytes ++ +++
SREBP and ChREBP activation by hyperglycemic state and high fructose intake + ++
Hyperglucagonemia and hepatic glucagon resistance (worsened by amylin deficiency) +++
Low GLP-1 blood concentration + ++

(-: unlikely; +: not unlikely; ++: likely; +++: very likely). T1D, type 1 diabetes; T2D, type 2 diabetes; SREBP, sterol regulatory element-binding proteins; ChREBP, carbohydrate response element-binding protein; GLP-1, glucagon-like peptide-1.
