The NAFLD patients had higher BMI value and serum levels of ALT, GGT, TG, TC, LDL and FPG than healthy controls (all P <  0.05), besides, the serum level of HDL in NAFLD patients was significant low compared to the healthy controls (P <  0.05), No significant differences of serum AST, ALP, TBIL levels were observed between NAFLD patients and healthy controls (all P > 0.05). Here, GPT is linked to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.
