Sedentary patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and type 2 diabetes experienced similar reductions in hepatic fat content after completing resistance or aerobic exercise programs in a recent study.

In a subanalysis of the RAED2 study, researchers randomly assigned 30 sedentary patients with type 2 diabetes and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) to undergo aerobic (AER; n=13) or resistance training (RES; n=17) three times a week for 4 months. Researchers measured the impact on body composition, hepatic fat content, insulin sensitivity and abdominal adipose tissue. The cohort was white, aged 40 to 70 years and had a BMI range of 24 kg/m2 to 36 kg/m2.
