    ALT level decline indicates improved liver function, assessed via blood tests.

    3 months

  • Changes in aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels

    AST level decline indicates improved liver function, assessed via blood tests.

    3 months

Secondary Outcomes (21)

  • Changes in basal metabolic rate

    3 months

  • Metabolic index

    3 months

  • Gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT)
