Consistent with the effects of nitrite and captopril on liver steatosis in the rat NASH model, dietary nitrite and captopril supplementation had no significant effect on lowering the increased plasma levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in the rat NASH models (Figure S1). This evidence concerns the gene GPT and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis.
