Table 1 Characteristics and biochemical data of patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) before losartan treatment

Paremeters	NAFL (n = 8)	NASH (n = 7)
Age (yr) Male/female	59 (34-76) 4/4	59 (41-65) 2/5
BMI (kg/m²)	24.5 (21.4-31.4)	26.1 (22.6-36.7)
SBP (mmHg)	130 (92-156)	148 (127-171)
DBP (mmHg)	78 (54-96)	90 (71-100)
AST (IU/L)	54 (42-70)	84 (20-128)
ALT (IU/L)	72 (56-110)	132 (54-138)
γ-GTP (IU/L)	30 (17-43)	53 (42-127)^a
TC (mg/dL)	209 (169-254)	222 (160-319)
TG (mg/dL)	128 (86-198)	124 (65-295)

IV collagen (ng/mL)	2.7 (2.0-3.5)	5.2 (3.1-9.9)^a

Values are expressed as median (range).

^aP < 0.05 vs NAFL; BMI: body mass index; SBP: systolic blood pressure; DBP: diastolic blood pressure; AST: aspartate aminotransferase; ALT: alanine aminotransferase; γ-GTP: γ-glutamyl transpeptidase; TC: total cholesterol; TG: triglyceride; FBS: fasting blood glucose; HA: hyaluronic acid; IV collagen: type IV collagen 7S.
