In contrast to the participants with sustained NAFLD, the participants with remitted NAFLD were relatively lower BMI (P = 0.0039) and WC (P = 0.0006), as well as lower serum levels of AST (P = 0.0011), ALT (P <0.0001) and TG (P = 0.0293). The gene discussed is GPT; the disease is metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.
