GPT and steatosis: Performing the same analyses with the patient cohort in three BMI categories (lean, overweight, obese), we found that lean patients with steatosis had significantly lower levels of LDL (p = 0.043), TG (p = 3.2E−3), and ALT (p = 0.036), and significantly higher levels of HDL (p = 0.029) and ALP (p < 0.0001) than obese patients with steatosis.
