Pre-surgery serum samples from 100 middle-aged, morbidly obese female subjects, grouped on gold-standard liver wedge biopsies (non-NAFLD; steatosis; and fibrosis) were collected, extracted, and analyzed in aqueous (D<sub>2</sub>O) buffer (<sup>1</sup>H, 600 MHz).

In contrast, the steatosis and fibrosis groups were characterized by 2-hydroxyisovalerate (↑; <i>p</i> = 0.023), betaine (↓; <i>p</i> = 0.008), hypoxanthine (↓; <i>p</i> = 0.003), taurine (↓; <i>p</i> = 0.001), 2-hydroxybutyrate (↑; <i>p</i> = 0.045), 3-hydroxyisobutyrate (↑; <i>p</i> = 0.046), and increasing medium chain fatty acids.
