Filter by:The goal of this pre-intervention study is test the acceptability of Asian version of the Mediterranean diet to NAFLD patients. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: 1. Whether Asian version of the Mediterranean diet that retains the nutritional composition and can be developed by mapping the components of the Mediterranean diet and finding substitute ingredients commonly eaten in Southeast Asia. 2. Whether the 4-week menu cycle of newly developed novel Asian Mediterranean diet is acceptable among Singaporean local population. Participants will participate in taste test sessions to find out if the Asian Mediterranean diet meals are acceptable to people with NAFLD.
The goal of this 12-week clinical trial is to investigate the effectiveness of different exercise types in treating Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) and to explore their impact on myokine levels associated with lipid metabolism. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. How does the type and dose of exercise affect the treatment of NAFLD? 2. What is the influence of exercise interventions in NAFLD treatment on myokine levels related to lipid metabolism? 3. How does motivational interviewing contribute to lifestyle modification in the treatment of NAFLD? Participants in this study will engage in assigned exercise routines randomly, including HIIT, resistance training, or FATmax exercises. Additionally, motivational interviewing techniques will be employed to assess their impact on lifestyle changes. Researchers will compare the outcomes among the different exercise groups, along with a control group receiving only standard care for NAFLD. This comparison aims to determine the respective effects of these interventions on both NAFLD and associated myokine levels.
Metabolic-dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease, often referred to as "fatty liver disease", is a leading cause of liver failure. Dietary weight loss is a cornerstone of treating fatty liver disease, but access to traditional in-person nutritional education is often limited by cost, availability, and transportation. Immersive virtual reality (iVR) has the potential to not only overcome these barriers, but also provide an interactive learning experience, such as measuring and preparing foods. Therefore, the investigators have created and validated an iVR dietician program known as the Immersive Virtual Alimentation and Nutrition (IVAN) using evidence-informed practices from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. The goal of this project is to translate the IVAN program from human and patient research to practice and community research. The investigators plan to accomplish this by performing a randomized clinical trial evaluating the effect of the IVAN program in combination with synchronous audio/video dietary counseling on self-reported dietary intake and weight compared to in-person counseling. Concurrently, the investigators will provide a survey assessing implementation outcomes to both groups as well as the dietician at each study visit, and crossover the intervention at study completion so all participants assess the IVAN program. Additionally, the investigators will have clinic health care providers experience the IVAN program and assess implementation outcomes.
Study question 1:Could SGLT2-I improve hepatic fibrosis, steatosis, and inflammatory markers in type 2 diabetic patients with Metabolic associated steatotic liver disease Question 2:Which drug of SGLT2-I group is more effective in improving metabolic associated steatotic liver disease in type 2 diabetic patients?
The purpose of this study is to learn how well efinopegdutide works compared to placebo in people who have non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Researchers will also learn about the safety and benefit of efinopegdutide and how well people tolerate the medicine. The main goal of the study is to compare how many people taking efinopegdutide or placebo stop showing evidence of NASH without liver scarring getting worse.
The objective of this study is: (1) to compare the feasibility (technical successes rate and reliability) in measuring attenuation coefficient between two different frequencies (3MHz, 4MHz) of ultrasound beam; (2) to evaluate and compare the diagnostic performance of attenuation coefficient for steatosis using two different frequencies (3MHz, 4MHz) of ultrasound beam by comparison with the pathologic results acquired by liver biopsy or surgery.
This is a two-part study. In Part A, eligible participants will undergo a baseline diagnostic liver biopsy to determine non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) Activity Score (NAS) and fibrosis stage, but will not receive study intervention. In Part B, participants with histologically confirmed NAFLD or non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) will receive study intervention.
Given the current increase in the incidence of dyslipidemia and obesity in the general population, there is a strong interest in identifying dietary factors capable of preventing the onset of metabolic diseases or at least capable of reducing metabolic risk. Several experimental evidences have shown that improving the carbohydrate and lipid profile in subjects at risk can reduce mortality linked to cardiovascular, neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. The diet is, therefore, an effective prevention tool in combating diseases related to metabolism, such as MAFLD (Metabolic Associated Fatty Liver Disease). In particular, fruit with its high content of polyphenols has been shown to exert a high anti-inflammatory, antithrombotic and antiproliferative action. Polyphenols extracted from oranges of the "Tacle" variety have demonstrated in vitro an inhibitory action of cholesterol synthesis. In addition, the consumption of orange juice has been shown to improve the serum lipid profile of obese subjects, as well as "hesperedine", a flavonoid mainly present in oranges is able to reduce the proliferative activity of MCF-7 (human breast cancer cell line with estrogen, progesterone and glucocorticoid receptors) cells.
Metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) has currently reached a worldwide epidemic. Serum PRL levels within or outside physiological range have been found to affect metabolic homeostasis differently. However, the relationship between serum PRL and MAFLD among diabetic patients is unclear. The investigators aimed to explore the association between serum PRL and the risk of MAFLD in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM).
This is a randomised controlled study of patients with Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). Patients will be trained according to the 10 rules of a healthy nutrition according to the German Association for Nutrition (DGE). One arm will undergo Time-Restricted Feeding (TRF) for 12 weeks. The control arm is not subject to any time restrictions concerning eating. It will be investigated whether TRF improves insulin sensitivity, impacts on metabolic inflammation and reduces liver steatosis.
