FIGURE 1.
Relation between liver fat and carbohydrate (CHO) intakes for each of the PNPLA3 genotypes. There was a significant CHO × genotype interaction on hepatic fat fraction (P = 0.04), independent of sex, age, BMI, and visceral adipose tissue. Liver fat was positively related to CHO (r = 0.38, P = 0.02) only in the GG group, independent of sex, age, BMI, and visceral adipose tissue. CHO intake was not related to liver fat in the CC or CG group.
