Clinical Trial Summary

Objectives: To examine the effects of tablets of silybum marianum, Pueraria lobate and salvia miltiorrhiza on the progression of fatty liver in patients with fatty liver. Design: a double-blinded randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial. Setting: community residents, Guangzhou city, South China. Participants: a total 118 men and women (18-65 years), with BMI range of 24-30 kg/m2, and with fatty liver screened by ultrasound or MR at baseline. Arms and Interventions: 118 participants were randomly allocated into two arms using a block randomization method. Experimental Arm: tablet of silybum marianum, Pueraria lobate and salvia miltiorrhiza, 3 tablets (1g each) twice a day for 6 months; Placebo Arm: placebo tablets, 3 tablets (1g each) twice a day for 6 months. Outcome Measures: determined at baseline and at 6 months post treatment 1. Primary Outcome Measures: 1) proton density fat fraction of liver assessed by MR; 2) serum liver fibrosis biomarkers: type procollagen III N terminal peptide, hyaluronic acid, laminin, collagen type IV, and glycocholic acid; 3) NAFLD fibrosis score. 2. Secondary Outcome Measures: 1) serum liver function biomarkers: AST, ALT, GGT, ALP, total protein, and bile acids; 2) fasting blood lipids: total triglycerides, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and LDL cholesterol; 3) fasting serum glucose and insulin; 4) serum inflammatory factors (hsCRP and IL-6); 5) oxidative stress: SOD and MDA; and 6) body measurements and body fat mass. Data Analyses: Mean changes in the above outcome measures from baseline to 6 months will be compared between the two arms.
