Comparison of metabolic parameters within fatty liver index (FLI) groups in pGDM (means±SD).

G1 = FLI≤20, G2 = 20Tumor-necrosis-factor (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), plasminogen-activator-inhibitor (PAI), tissue-plasminogen-activator (t-PA), oral-glucose-insulin-sensitivity-index (OGIS), free-fatty-acids (FFA), and ultra-sensitive c-reactive protein (usCRP). Data are mean±SD. Data on adiponectin are referred as median and interquartil ranges.p-values were determined by one-way analysis of variance or Kruskal-Wallis Test, respectively.*p≤0.05 G1 vs. G2;†p≤0.05 G1 vs. G3;§p≤0.05 G2 vs. G3;**p-values are based on log-transformed data.
