Palm-derived tocotrienols have shown hepatoprotective effects in both animal and human studies. This study aims to investigate the effects of tocotrienols in hepatocellular lipid content using MRI. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a spectrum of diseases ranging from simple fatty liver (steatosis, NAFL) to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) to cirrhosis. NASH is the accumulation of fat in liver cells accompanied with inflammation that can lead to the scarring of the liver. Prevention of liver fibrosis by early introduction of low risk interventions such as lifestyle modification, diet control and nutraceuticals may help circumvent long-term healthcare costs associated with management of chronic NASH.
A randomized, multi-center study evaluating MET409 (50 mg) alone or in combination with empagliflozin (10 mg) for 12 weeks. Assignment to MET409 will be double-blind and placebo-controlled. Empagliflozin will be incorporated into two of the treatment arms in an open-label manner.
It is an observational trial on 500 subjects. The purpose of this trial is to assess the prevalence of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in subjects with different classes of obesity.
In Taiwan, with the westernization of eating habit and lifestyle, metabolic syndrome and non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFLD) have become very important health issues. This project will therefore study the histological and clinical data of patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and explore the impact of exercise intervention on the hepatic fatty infiltration of the patients. The research strategy will include (1) combining modern artificial big data collection technology to fully monitor the daily life, sleep and exercise patterns of the participants; (2) improving fatty liver and metabolic syndrome through trial-based exercise intervention; and (3) exploring the changes of sleep patterns and intestinal microflora in patients with metabolic liver disease after exercise intervention.
Girls with obesity and polycystic ovarian syndrome will receive either glucagon like peptide-1 receptor agonist therapy or a dietary intervention for 12 weeks to decrease the metabolic syndrome, in particular to lower hepatic fat and improve insulin sensitivity.
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common cause of chronic liver disease in the world. NAFLD is associated with a lot of comorbidity, such as diabetes, metabolic syndrome, coronary heart disease and chronic kidney diseases. However, the correlation between the NAFLD and cardiovascular disease (CVD) events remains controversial. This study is an observational study based on a big retrospective cohort in china to explore the prevalence of NAFLD in China, the risk factors associated with NAFLD, as well as whether patients with NAFLD are more prone to experience CVDs and CVD events.
This study is a randomized clinical trial with 6 months probiotic supplement vs. placebo treatment and 6 month follow up on 100 NAFLD patients that will undergo sleeve gastrectomy surgery. Measurements will be conducted at: baseline, M3 (3 months after treatment initiation), M6 and M12 and will include: abdominal US, Fibroscan, biochemical tests, anthropometric measurements, glucose breath test for bacterial overgrowth, fecal samples and questionnaires for demographic details, quality of life, food intake, food tolerance and habitual physical activity. 20 subjects will undergo an additional liver-MRI test at baseline and M6. Additionally, 30 healthy participants will consume probiotic supplement vs. placebo for 28 days and will undergo gastroscopy and colonoscopy before and during consumption.
The Exalenz clinical investigation is a multicenter, non-randomized, blinded, study of the ¹³C-Octanaote breath test (OBT). The OBT is a non-invasive test for evaluation of disease severity in patients with suspected non alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) The purpose of the study is to demonstrate that the ¹³C-Octanaote Breath Test (OBT) can be used as an aid, in conjunction with other clinical information and medical history, for evaluating disease severity and detecting non alcoholic steatohepatitis(NASH) with a high probability. Retrospective analysis based on multivariable analysis will determined if and which demographic, clinical and biochemical or imaging techniques data can assist in addition to the data derived from OBT in differentiation of NASH, NAFL and possibly normals.
