GHR and steatosis: Although GHR expression levels were highest in patients with steatosis grade 1, there was no significant difference in patients with steatosis grade 2 and 3 (GHR/GAPDH cDNA ratio: steatosis grade 1: 4.65 ± 2.22; steatosis grade 2: 3.18 ± 1.92; steatosis grade 3: 4.15 ± 3.86, p = 0.19).
