Parallel to epidemic obesity, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) prevalence has markedly increased during the last years, and recent data point out that one of three adults courses with this disease. NAFLD etiopathogeny is multifactorial, an inadequate diet characterized by high fructose content and deficient consumption of omega-3 fatty acids, scarce physical activity, excess abdominal visceral fat (AVF), insulin resistance, and genetic susceptibility have shown to be relevant determinants. Although NAFLD can progress to cirrhosis and hepatic carcinoma, its most frequent complications are type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) and coronary artery disease (CAD); therefore, NAFLD is considered a multisystemic disease and a public health problem. Currently, no specific pharmacological treatment is available for NAFLD, hence, modifications in life style, including weight loss by caloric restriction and increased physical activity, are still the treatment of choice for this type of patients. Recent studies indicate that the supplementation of the diet with omega-3 fatty acids of marine origin (eicosapentanoic acid [EPA]/docosahexaenoic acid [DHA]) and the Mediterranean-style diet (rich in omega-3, antioxidants, and fiber) are efficient for NAFLD treatment, because they diminish the intrahepatic fat content and improve the metabolic profile, even in non-caloric restriction diets. However, the socioeconomic and cultural characteristics make the consumption of these food difficult in some populations, which has led to the search of alternative vegetal sources rich in these nutrients. Although, there is evidence in animal models suggesting that chia (Salvia hispanica L.) could be an alternative able to reduce the intrahepatic fat content, its effect on NAFLD has not been studied in humans. Hence, the objective of this study was to analyze whether the consumption of an isocaloric diet supplemented with 25 g/day of chia can diminish NAFLD and the metabolic anomalies that accompany the disease.
This is a Phase 2 multi-center, randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of TVB-2640 in subjects with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a type of fatty liver disease. Subjects will be randomly assigned to 1 of 2 treatment groups (TVB- 2640 at one of three doses or placebo). Following randomization, subjects will begin the 12-week treatment period and will receive once daily TVB-2640 or placebo.
in this study, the investigators compare the effect of interval training exercise and electroacupuncture on liver functions in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease patients
To provide a framework for successful clinical trials testing novel targets for therapy in liver disease. To identify molecular and cellular drivers of liver disease to provide a molecular classification and study the determinants or key drivers of disease progression. Consecutive patients admitted with steatohepatitis (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) will be enrolled in this study where liver tissue, blood and stool will be collected to discover and validate factors associated with diagnosis, severity, histological characteristics, development of decompensations, progression of disease and survival.
This is a multi-center evaluation of NGM282 in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study administered for 24 weeks in participants with histologically confirmed NASH and F2/F3 Fibrosis.
A multicenter, double-blind, active-controlled, randomized, parallel, phase IV clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of evogliptin in patients with type 2 diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases
Studies in recent years have demonstrated that the commensal intestinal flora (microbiome) plays a key role in the development of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). An unfavourable microbiom can trigger disease development and progression. On the other hand, recent data show that modulation of the microbiom by a diet can prevent the developement of a NASH. Mechanisms of interaction between nutrition, microbiome, intestine and liver are largely unknown. In this research project, the effect of a fibre-rich oat bran on NASH will therefore be investigated. A better understanding of the interaction between diet, microbiome, intestine and liver could form the basis for new preventive therapies of NASH.
The majority of obese have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NALFD). Currently, no pharmacological agents are licenced for the prevention or treatment of NAFLD, and weight loss, notoriously difficult to obtain (and specially to maintain), remains the only treatment option. Interestingly, curcumin, a phenolic compound extracted from the turmeric root, has from in vitro and animal studies shown promising effects in preventing and treating NAFLD, and the sparse available human data point in the same direction; but solid human data are missing. This study will delineate the effects of curcumin when treating NAFLD in humans. The primary aim of this study is to investigate the effect of 6 weeks of curcumin on liver fat content (assessed by magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS)) in obese subject with NAFLD. Additionally, a range of secondary endpoints have been chosen in order to delineate the role of NAFLD in the newly discovered liver-alpha cell axis governing circulating levels of the glucose-mobilising pancreatic alpha cell hormone glucagon and, thus, to elucidate the link between liver fat content and the risk of developing reduced glucose tolerance and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Also, the anti-inflammatory effect of curcumin will be elucidated, as inflammatory markers will be measured before and after intervention. Furthermore, the effect of curcumin will be measured by measuring the following parameters before and after intervention: Transient elastography, anthropometric measurements, body weight, appetite, food-consumption, calory balance, resting energy expenditure, gut microbiota, bioimpedance measures, visceral- and subcutaneous fat, glucose tolerance, lipids, blood pressure, pulse, liver parameters (blood-tests) and adipokines. During the oral glucose tolerance test before and after intervention, incretin hormones, glucagon, amino acids, insulin, c-peptide and urea will be measured.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate safety and efficacy of Saroglitazar Magnesium 2 mg and 4 mg in patients with NASH. This study will be initiated after obtaining the approvals of Institutional Ethics Committee/Institutional Review Board (IEC/IRB) and the local regulatory authority.
