ALT (U/L)	15 (12–21)	14 (11–22)	0.62
AST (U/L)	19 (6–36)	18 (15–26)	0.74
CK (U/L)	64 (42–104)	79 (62–103)	0.81

ALT: alanine aminotransferase; AST: aspartate aminotransferase; CK: creatine kinase. Values represent the median (IQR). Differences between the pre- and posttreatment groups were examined using the Wilcoxon matched paired signed-rank test, represented in the “ value” column.
