Obesity Clinical Trial
Official title:
Effect of Oral L-Citrulline Supplementation on Liver Function and Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in Adolescents With Obesity
One of the comorbidities of obesity is nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). L-citrulline is a non-protein amino acid that has shown positive effects on the degree of fat retention and metabolic profile in NAFLD. The objective is to assess the effect of oral L-citrulline supplementation on liver function and nonalcoholic fatty liver in adolescents with obesity. A clinical study will be carried out in 40 adolescents (15-19 years) with obesity, they will be divided into a control group that will receive a placebo and an experimental group that will receive 6 g of l-citrulline per day for eight weeks.
It is hypothesized that l-citrulline supplementation decreases liver enzymes and the degree of hepatic steatosis in adolescents with obesity. The aim of the study is to assess the effect of oral L-citrulline supplementation on liver function and nonalcoholic fatty liver in adolescents with obesity. A prospective randomized, double-blind clinical study will be carried out in 40 adolescents (15-19 years) with obesity, they will be divided into a control group that will receive a placebo (carboxymethyl cellulose) and an experimental group that will receive 6 g of pure l-citrulline per day per eight weeks. At the beginning and end of the intervention, anthropometric, biochemical and metabolic data will be evaluated, as well as tests of function and degree of hepatic steatosis. ;
