The comparison included measurement of biochemical abnormalities including fasting blood glucose,triglycerides, total cholesterol and alanine transaminase (ALT).Results:The results of fasting blood glucose[{Fatty liver group=7.06 ± 3.51mmol/L}{Without fatty liver disease=5.12 ± 0.56mmol/L} (p = 0.002)], serum triglycerides [{Fatty liver group=2.56 ± 1.33 mmol/L } {Without fatty liver disease=1.68 ± 0.97mmol/L }...
