Vitamin D Levels Are Inversely Associated with Liver Fat Content and Risk of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in a Chinese Middle-Aged and Elderly Population: The Shanghai Changfeng Study - Fig 1

<p>The average LFC (%) in male (left) and female (right) subjects with different vitamin D status with a serum 25(OH)D <50nmol/L, = 50–75nmol/L and >75nmol/L. The liver fat content was significantly higher in male subjects with vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency, but not in female subjects.</p

Additional file 2: Figure S1. The line graph of the glucose tolerance test (0–3 h). Data were mean ± SD, LSI: lifestyle intervention, BBR plus LSI: berberine treatment plus lifestyle intervention. *P < 0.05 when comparing before and after berberine plus lifestyle intervention treatment, #P < 0.05 when comparing before and after lifestyle intervention alone treatment
