The relationships between DNL and a total liver fat content, b SFA fraction, c MUFA fraction, d PUFA fraction, and e MUFA/SFA ratio in healthy overweight/obese participants (with and without NAFL, n = 16 for total liver fat content and n = 15 for the fatty acid fractions and MUFA/SFA ratio). The correlation coefficient is shown in the respective plots (a; two-sided Spearman correlation, b–e; two-sided Pearson correlation).
