Performance of specific oral psychometric tests by controls, patients without MHE and patients with MHE according to presence of manifestations of metabolic syndrome at baseline. Oral SDMT: oral version of Symbol digit modalities test, expressed in correct pairings. Digit Span and Letter-Number sequencing test are expressed as right answers. Punctuation expressed as mean (SEM). *significant differences from controls (*p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001). αsignificant differences from no MHE (αp < 0.05; ααp < 0.01; αααp < 0.001). ^significant differences from patients with MHE without metabolic syndrome manifestations (^p < 0.05; ^^p < 0.01; ^^^p < 0.001).
