Number of subjects n = 44 (all men). Women were excluded from the analysis to avoid mixing effects of sex. ALAT, alanine transaminase; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; LFC, liver fat content; M-value, whole body insulin sensitivity; V̇o_2peak, aerobic capacity (peak oxygen consumption).

Log transformation was performed to achieve normal distribution.
