2 Figure 1 Changes in serum K18 levels in the PIVENS trial. (A) Changes in serum K18 levels in 3 treatment groups (placebo, pioglitazone, and vitamin E) during the PIVENS trial. (B) Changes in serum K18 levels in adults who achieved histologic improvement compared with those who did not achieve histologic improvement in the PIVENS trial. Histologic improvement was defined based on specified change in NAS and no progression of fibrosis, as described in the text. (C) Changes in serum K18 levels in adults with and without resolution of NASH in the PIVENS trial.

3 Figure 2 Changes in serum K18 fragment levels during the TONIC trial. (A) Changes in serum K18 levels in the 3 treatment groups (placebo, metformin, and vitamin E) during the TONIC trial. (B) Changes in serum K18 levels in adults who achieved histologic improvement compared with those who did not achieve histologic improvement in the TONIC trial. Histologic improvement was defined based on change in NAS and no progression of fibrosis, as described in the text. (C) Changes in serum K18 levels in adults with and without resolution of NASH in the TONIC trial.
