This study uses routine blood tests to find people with advanced liver scarring caused by a condition called MASLD. If you are between 50 and 75, have certain metabolic risks, and get blood work from your primary care doctor at select centers, you may be eligible.
This study measures how “blood fats” move in the body after fasting and controlled eating, comparing people with type 1 diabetes to those without diabetes. It may help researchers understand diabetes-related differences in lipid (fat) handling and improve future treatments.
This study looks at how fat tissue works differently in people with type 1 diabetes who have belly fat, and how that might lead to fat buildup in the liver. It compares these people to those without diabetes, matched by age, waist size, and menopausal status, to find new ways to prevent liver problems.
