## Abstract Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system mounts an attack on the host's insulinβproducing Ξ² cells. Because most cases of T1D cannot be attributed only to individual genetics, it is strongly inferred that there is a significant environmental contribution,
The pathophysiological mechanisms to explain the association between risk of type 2 diabetes and elevated concentrations of gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) and alanineaminotransferase (ALT) remain poorly characterized. We explored the association of liver enzymes with peripheral and hepatic insulin
