Significant differences were found between the NAFLD and NAFLD-free groups in ALT (25.6 ± 14.1 U/L vs. 21.1 ± 8.9 U/L, P = 0.009), HDL-C (1.1 ± 0.3 mmol/L vs. 1.2 ± 0.3 mmol/L, P = 0.04), and triglycerides (1.6 ± 0.8 mmol/L vs. 1.3 ± 0.6 mmol/L, P = 0.001) (Table 1). This evidence concerns the gene GPT and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.
