Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will assess the safety, tolerability, the pharmacokinetics from single injection (under the skin) of NNC0581-0001 and explores the pharmacodynamics in healthy participants and participants with hepatic steatosis (increased liver fat). Participants will either get NNC0581-001 or Placebo (dummy treatment). Which treatment participants get is decided by chance.NNC0581-0001 is a new medicine which cannot be prescribed by doctors. The study will last about 58 weeks.
