  • *p<0.05: Means on the same row that do not share a letter are significantly different. For example, there is no statistical difference between A and AB, while there is a significant difference between A and B, or AB and C, etc.

  • ALT, alanine aminotransferase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; BMI, body mass index; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; γ-GTP, γ-glutamyl transpeptidase; HbA1c, glycated haemoglobin; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HSD, honest significant difference; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; TG, triglyceride.
