SHBG and HNF4α mRNA expression in fatty liver tissues. (a) Correlation analysis of the relationship between SHBG (log-transformed) and serum SHBG levels. (b-c) Serum SHBG levels and SHBG and HNF4α mRNA expression in fatty liver tissue [mean (SEM)] between Grade 0 (n = 12), Grade 1 (n = 10) and Grade 2–3 (n = 10) versus Grade 0 steatosis, *p < 0.05 **p < 0.01. (D) Correlation of SHBG mRNA expression (log-transformed) with HNF4αmRNA expression (log-transformed). (e-g) Correlations of hepatic TG with serum SHBG levels, SHBG mRNA expression (log-transformed) and HNF4α mRNA expression (log-transformed)
