Keywords:
tirzepatide, GIP/GLP-1 dual agonist, NAFLD, MRI-PDFF, fibrosisAbstract
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is highly prevalent among persons with type 2 diabetesmellitus (T2DM) and ranges from simple steatosis to metabolic dysfunction–associatedsteatohepatitis (MASH) with progressive fibrosis. Dual agonists of glucose-dependent
