Reference values: glucose (60–110 mg/dL), insulin (20 μU/mL), HOMA-IR (2.0), total cholesterol (170 mg/dL), TG (33-129 mg/dL), HDL cholesterol (38 mg/dL), LDL cholesterol (<130 mg/dL), AST (10–40 U/L), ALT (10–35 U/L), and GGT (17–30 U/L) (Burgert et al. [12]). Values are expressed as mean ± standard deviation. Mean values were significantly different according to indenpendent -test . Comparison of the group with NAFLD versus group non-NAFLD. Comparison of the group with NAFLD versus group non-NAFLD by genders. Comparison of the genders at the same group.
