Individuals with hepatic steatosis have lower cold-induced percentage decline in supraclavicular proton density fat fraction
(A) Comparison of the cold-induced percentage decline in supraclavicular (SCV) proton density fat fraction (PDFF) (%) between those without (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease [NAFLD] negative, n = 30) and with (NAFLD positive, n = 29) hepatic steatosis; data are presented as mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM) for each group.
(B) Relationship of the cold-induced percentage decline in SCV PDFF (%) with hepatic PDFF (%) in men (blue circles) and women (red triangles).
†p < 0.05, Mann-Whitney U test; §p < 0.05, Spearman’s correlation.
