Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease attenuates the predictive value of the triglyceride–glucose index for carotid plaque: evidence of insulin resistance-independent pathways

BackgroundInsulin resistance (IR), a key driver of atherosclerosis, is associated with cardiovascular risks such as carotid plaque formation. While the triglyceride–glucose (TyG) index has been established as a reliable surrogate marker of IR, its association with carotid plaque formation in individ...
