Filter by:The investigators recently demonstrated a increase in liver fat in early middle-aged LBW compared to normal birth weight (NBW) men, and 20% of the LBW - but none of the normal birth weight (NBW) - men had previously unknown non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Here the investigators will further examine the Increased risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in low birth weight individuals by performing a validation study.
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is one of the most common chronic liver diseases worldwide. Available data indicates that probiotics may regulate the gut microbiota and improve liver function in females with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. In this study, we aim to investigate if the synbiotics (prebiotics and probiotics) are efficacious subjects in liver function improvement in female subjects with Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is becoming increasingly common in Canada and throughout the world. Fatty liver can increase the risks of perioperative complications for those who need liver surgery. A ketogenic diet is low in carbohydrates and can be very effective in reducing liver fat content. The purpose of this randomized control trial is to compare the effect of a short duration (4 week) preoperative ketogenic diet on operative and disease outcomes in patients undergoing liver surgery. One arm will be randomized to the ketogenic diet and the other will receive standard of care pre-operative dietary consultation.
The goal of this double-blinded, randomized, crossover trial is to investigate the effects of NMN supplementation on liver function, liver fat content and lipid metabolism in healthy young subjects with acute binge drink. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. if NMN administration could accelerate alcohol metabolism and alleviate hangover symptom; 2. if NMN administration could alleviate alcohol-induced liver injury and hepatic steatosis.
Cushing's Syndrome is a rare disease resulting from prolonged exposure to high levels of circulating cortisol. Clinical manifestations are variable but many patients present a metabolic syndrome (abdominal obesity, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, hypertension). With regard to the liver, experimental data have shown that excess cortisol leads in an increase in lipogenesis and a reduction in the oxidation of fatty acids. This, in association with an accumulation of visceral adipose tissue and deregulation of adipokines, may contribute to the development of hepatic steatosis in animals. However, few data is available in humans with only one study of 50 patients with Cushing's syndrome estimating the prevalence of hepatic steatosis at 20%. NAFLD (Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease), is defined as the presence of hepatic steatosis in the absence of secondary causes of intrahepatic fat accumulation. It is a heterogeneous disease ranging from simple liver steatosis, whose prognosis is generally considered to be benign, to inflammation (NASH, Non-Alcoholic Steato-Hepatitis) which may progress to fibrosis, cirrhosis and an increased risk of hepatocellular carcinoma. The prognosis for NAFLD is mainly related to the severity of hepatic fibrosis. In Cushing's syndrome, normalization of cortisol production is the most effective strategy to improve co-morbidities associated with hypercortisolism. However, some of these complications, especially the metabolic co morbidities, could not be completely reversible and no data is available about resolution of hepatic steatosis.
This study consists of 2 parts: Part 1: a cross-sectional study, looking at the prevalence of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) among nurses in Hospital Canselor Tuanku Muhriz (HCTM). Part 2: a randomized controlled trial of intermittent fasting with MAFLD subjects.
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 investigator aimed to prospectively study the effect of the hepatic fibrosis on quantifying hepatic steatosis using ultrasound attenuation imaging (ATI value) in patients with chronic hepatitis B.
The goal of this study is to evaluate whether the standardized liver cancer risk stratification management can effectively improve the early diagnosis rate of liver cancer in the targeted risk population in China.
The effects of a time-restricted hypocaloric Mediterranean type diet compared to a conventional hypocaloric Mediterranean type diet on blood glucose metabolism and liver steatosis in people with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease will be investigated.
