May link hepatic steatosis to early parasympathetic neuropathy in recent-onset T2D; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.
Is lower heart rate variability associated with increased liver fat content in patients with recent-onset diabetes?
Lower cardiovagal tone and baroreflex sensitivity are strongly associated with hepatic steatosis in recent-onset type 2 diabetes, suggesting a link between liver fat and early parasympathetic autonomic neuropathy.
Ziegler et al. (2017) studied this question.
