Filter by:This is a Phase 2a, randomized, parallel-group, placebo-controlled, double-blind, repeated-dose study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of three oral dose levels of HU6 compared to placebo over the course of 61 days in subjects with high BMI and evidence of elevated liver fat.
There is a clear unmet clinical need for effective lifestyle intervention in patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Patients have self-identified multiple barriers to effective lifestyle intervention can be removed with a mobile health (mHealth) platform. This study will be a proof of concept study to evaluate weight loss efficacy of Noom Healthy Weight (HW), a mHealth lifestyle intervention, in patients with NASH.
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.
Many patients with type 2 diabetes exhibit elevated plasma concentrations of the glucose-mobilising pancreatic hormone glucagon; i.e. hyperglucagonaemia. This contributes to the hyperglycaemic state of the patients and is considered an important component in the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes; but the mechanisms underlying this phenomenon remain unclear. The liver constitutes the main target organ of glucagon, and studies have shown that hyperglucagonaemia goes hand in hand with hyperaminoacidaemia and that both are associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), independently of the presence of type 2 diabetes. In line with this, several recent studies support the existence of a feedback-cycle between the liver and the pancreatic alpha cells, governed by circulating glucagon and amino acids. The investigators hypothesise that the presence of hepatic steatosis results in hepatic glucagon resistance at the level of amino acid turnover, i.e. impaired glucagon-induced suppression of circulating amino acid concentrations. If this hypothesis proves correct, it would establish build-up of fat in the liver as a core mechanism underlying hyperglucagonaemia and, since the hyperglucagonemia is at least partly responsible for the fasting hyperglycaemia, as an important contributor to the hyperglycaemia of type 2 diabetes.
This study aims to assess the safety and tolerability of AMG 609 when administered subcutaneously as single doses in participants with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
The study is planned as a 3 part design with investigator and participant blinded (sponsor-open), placebo controlled, randomized, dose escalation in Part 1 and Part 2; and a randomized, open label design, in Part 3 (if conducted).
The prevention and treatment of metabolic-related fatty liver disease (MAFLD) involves many fields in preventive medicine and clinical medicine. So far, western medicine has not yet completed the elucidation of the mechanism of this type of disease, and there is a lack of effective therapeutic drugs.The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of limonene capsules (marketed product in China) in the treatment of metabolic-related fatty liver disease and related lipid-lowering mechanisms.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of mediterranean and low-fat diet on hepatic fat, inflammation markers and oxidative stress in adolescents with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. This randomized, single-blind controlled study conducted with obese adolescents aged 11-18 years who were admitted to Tepecik Training and Research Hospital Pediatric Gastroenterology Outpatient Clinic with the diagnosis of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Participants were randomly assigned to the Mediterranean diet or low-fat diet group.
The purpose of the study is to assess the safety and tolerability of single and multiple subcutaneous (SC) doses of JNJ-75220795.
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) includes a wide range of disorders that consist of simple fatty infiltration, steatohepatitis (NASH), and end-stage liver disease (cirrhosis). NAFLD is the most common cause of chronic liver disease worldwide and increases the risk of end-stage liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) . While risk factors such as obesity, diabetes, and a sedentary lifestyle may increase the risk of NAFLD, studies have shown that environmental exposures may further contribute to the pathogenesis of NAFLD. Although the pathogenic role of macronutrients is well established in both NAFLD and obesity, the contribution of micronutrients to NAFLD pathogenesis has garnered less attention than with obesity. Selenium is an essential element in many biological functions and is an important component of human nutrition. Exposure to selenium can be found in nature, such as rocks and sediment, air, soil, fuel oil, drinking water and nutritional supplementation. It is a major component of many enzymes such as glutathione peroxidase and plays an important role in anti-oxidation, DNA synthesis, reproduction, muscle function, and thyroid metabolism. Selenium concentrations have been studied in many diseases and organ systems including the liver. However, the exact relationship between selenium in patients with NAFLD is unclear.

Despite data suggesting mineral deficiencies in NAFLD patients, most data do not support insufficient mineral consumption as a possible mechanism for these deficiencies, except in the case of zinc deficiency. Zinc is the second most prevalent trace element in the body. It is integrally involved in the normal life cycle and has many important regulatory, catalytic, and defensive functions. Zinc deficiency occurs in many types of liver disease, especially more advanced/decompensated disease.
