Current smoking was significantly associated with increased intrahepatic fat quantified with magnetic resonance imager (MRI) spectra in 45 men who were on average 62.3 years of age. The finding may indicate that smoking leads to adipocyte dysfunction, manifested as high circulating TG concentrations and low adiponectin levels, which would induce ectopic fat accumulation.
