Table 3 Comparison of the incidence and variation trend of fatty liver at different degrees before and after intervention in each group (component ratio %)

From: Microecological preparation combined with an modified low-carbon diet improves glucolipid metabolism and cardiovascular complication in obese patients

  1. The Mann–Whitney rank sum test was used for the grade data. P < 0.05 was considered as significant difference. ** Before and after intervention group comparison, P < 0.01, * Before and after intervention group comparison, P < 0.05; Compared with group D before intervention, P < 0.01; compared with group D before intervention, P < 0.05; Compared with group D after dd intervention, P < 0.01; compared with group D after dd intervention, P < 0.05; After intervention, cc was compared with group C (P < 0.01). After intervention, cc was compared with group C (P < 0.05)
