1Statistical tests applied: Student’s t test, Mann-Whitney U test. Data are presented as the mean ± SD or as the median [interquartile range (IQR)] according to normality of continuous variables. SGOT: Aspartate aminotransferase; SGPT: Alanine aminotransferase; ALP: Alkaline phosphatase; GT: Glutamyl-transpeptidase; PT: Prothrombin time; aPTT: Activated partial thromboplastin time; INR: International normalized ratio; αGST: Alpha-glutathione-S-transferase.
