        "abstract": "Objectives: This study was conducted to assess the relationship of hepatic enzymes and serum albumin to obesity and insulin resistance in adults in Saudi Arabia. Methods: A comparative study of 136 Saudi adults, comprising of 68 obese and 68 non-obese was conducted. Anthropometric measurements, hepatic enzymes, serum albumin, blood glucose, serum insulin, lipid profile, and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA IR) were measured. Results: The study showed significantly higher levels of gamma glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), alkaline phosphatase, fasting glucose, serum insulin, and HOMA IR p < 0.001,"
