Distributions of liver fat percentage categories based on magnetic resonance imaging proton density fat fraction liver fat values at baseline and at the 12-week follow-up (n=38). All participants with >5% liver fat at baseline had stage 1 steatosis according to the standardized Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis Clinical Research Network histologic scoring system for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease [26].
