LD: liver donors, SS: simple steatosis, NASH: non-alcoholic steatohepatitis
Superscript letters show statistically significant difference from liver donors (a, A) and from SS (b,B).
a,b: p<0.05
A,B: p<0.01. ANOVA with Tukey’s post-hoc test was used for normally distributed data; Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney test were applied for non-parametric variables.
