The y0 partition associated significantly with study group (fdr‐corrected p = 5.88 × 10–11) and with several biochemical, histological, and gene expression variables in simple regressions, including steatosis score (fdr‐corrected p = 2.01 × 10–12), NAFLD activity score (fdr‐corrected p = 3.90 × 10–04), %liver lipid (fdr‐corrected p = 1.24 × 10–19), liver triglycerides (fdr‐corrected p = 9.52 × 10–19), plasma ALT (fdr‐corrected p = 7.72 × 10–13), and Ccl2_Mm00441242 expression (fdr‐corrected p = 1.06 × 10–04). Here, GPT is linked to steatosis.
