Human plasma ALT levels.
(A) Plasma ALT in obese patients with either a normal, steatotic or NASH liver (n = 47). Patients were classified for NASH grade (Brunt’s score) (B), lobular inflammation (C), steatosis (D) and fibrosis (E) (Kleiner’s score). (F) The Pearson correlation test was used to calculate the correlation coefficient (r) between plasma ALT and total cholesterol levels *Significantly different from normal. *, ** and *** indicate p < 0.05, 0.01, and 0.001 respectively.
