Table 2 Phase transitions of crystal structure and isotropic NAFLD HLC

From: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease experiences accumulation of hepatic liquid crystal associated with increasing lipophagy

Optical activity

Crystal birefringence initially disappears

Crystals transit into isotropic HLDs

Crystal birefringence initially resumes

Isotropic HLDs transit back to crystals
