- These values are averaged from the grading score of steatosis, which was graded 0–4 based on the average percent of fat-accumulated hepatocytes per field at × 100 magnification under H&E staining (Grading 0 = < 5%, 1 = 5 ~ 25%, 2 = 26 ~ 50%, 3 = 51 ~ 75%, 4 = > 75%)
- Overall assessment of all inflammatory foci per field at × 200 magnification under H&E staining, which was graded 0–3 (Grading 0 = 0, 1 = < 2, 2 = 2–4, 3 = > 4)
