Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Changes in Serum AST Levels
Week 0 to week 24

Biochemical values for liver function tests and histopathology scores were obtained at week 0 and 24 of the treatment trial, and changes in each were recorded. Here are reported changes in aspartate transaminase (AST) as representative of all changes. Since only baseline values were obtained in the Healthy and Lifestyle counseling groups, there are no recorded changes in these two groups.
