Table 2. Evaluation of anthropometric measurements and laboratory findings of the patients by groups.

Statistics: one-way analysis of variance: posthoc = Scheffe alpha test.

*Independent Student’s t-test. It shows the statistical significance between NAS and NASH.

**It shows the statistical importance in one-way analysis of variance: posthoc = Scheffe test.

Note: Data are presented as mean ± SD.

NAS, nonalcoholic hepatosetatosis; NASH, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis; BMI, body mass index; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; GGT, gamma-glutamyl transferase; ALP, alkaline phosphatase; T.bil, total bilirubin; D.bil, direct bilirubin; PTH, parathyroid hormone; Ca, calcium; P, phosphor; Mg, magnesium; TAS, total antioxidant level; TOS, total oxidant status
