As expected, liver function related tests showed higher levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (P = 0.003), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (P < 0.001) and gamma-glutamyltransferase (γ-GT) (P < 0.001) in NAFLD group compared to controls; however, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) showed no significant difference. Here, GPT is linked to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.
