Single Bout Of Aerobic Exercise Reduces Intrahepatic And Intramyocellular Triglyceride In Obese Individuals With Nafld: 3187 Board #252 June 3, 2: 00 PM - 3: 30 PM.

In simple terms

This study watched 10 people exercise once and saw their liver and muscle fat go down a little right after. But it didn't compare them to people who didn't exercise, so we don't know if the workout actually caused the drop or if something else did.
