Compared with the non-NAFLD group, ALT, AST, ALP, GGT, TG, TC, LDL-C, Hb, AFP, UA, creatinine, ferritin, FPG, insulin, and HOMA-IR were significantly increased (all P < 0.01 except P < 0.05 for AFP) while the HDL-C value significantly decreased in the NAFLD group (P < 0.01) (Table 1). This evidence concerns the gene GSTM1 and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.
