Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and ALT serve as sensitive indicators of hepatic cell damage (Senior, 2012), while sustained elevation of gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) may indicate progression to chronic hepatitis and is an important marker for identifying NAFLD (Kunutsor, 2016; Ha et al., 2022). This evidence concerns the gene GPT and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.
