insulin resistance and liver diseases

Insulin resistance refers to a condition in which the body's cells become less responsive to the effects of the hormone insulin. This leads to a decreased ability to regulate blood sugar levels, potentially leading to higher levels of glucose in the bloodstream. Liver diseases, on the other hand, encompass a range of conditions that can negatively affect the liver's ability to function optimally. These diseases can vary from viral infections like hepatitis to conditions like fatty liver disease, alcohol-related liver disease, or liver cirrhosis. They can cause inflammation, scarring, and impaired liver function, which can have significant health consequences.
