Statistical Analysis

Data were first analysed by the D'Agostino–Pearson test, and were found to be not normally distributed; therefore, pre-and post-GFD values were compared with the Wilcoxon test. The correlation between age and basal aminotransferase levels was also calculated. Values of P < 0.05 were chosen for rejection of the null hypothesis. Data are presented as means (±SEM).
