Yes: Both of these are signs of inflammation of the liver. One is genetic and the other is acquired. Low glycemic diet and the meditaranian diet along with a stable thyroid has been shown to decrease this. A fatty liver becomes dysfunctional at glycemic metabolism and you can get diabetes from this.
