title: [Steatosis and cirrhosis secondary to insulin resistance in children. Possible physiopathological mechanisms].
abstract: We describe two girls who showed physical and biochemical features of insulin resistance and steatohepatitis. The possible pathophysiological mechanisms involved in fatty liver and hepatotoxicity are discussed.
