Filter by:The goal of this study is to evaluate the role of transcription factor EB (TFEB) in adipose (fat) tissue macrophages (ATM) in regulating adipose tissue and systemic metabolic function in obesity. The investigators will assess the differences in ATM lipid metabolism in people with metabolically abnormal obesity and lean individuals. Both groups will have: - screening visit - imaging (body composition testing - dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scans, magnetic resonance imaging [MRI] and magnetic resonance spectroscopy [MRS] scans) - Overnight visit with intravenous infusion (IV), muscle, and fat tissue biopsies Participants with obesity will complete meetings with study team members for a weight loss intervention to achieve a 10% body weight loss.
Metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), which can lead to liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, liver failure and even hepatocellular carcinoma, poses a significant burden on society. With the improvement of living standards and changes in dietary habits, MAFLD patients show a younger and increasing trend, but there is still no specific drug. The clinical features and prognosis of MAFLD may be different with different metabolic disorder phenotypes and treatment measures. Therefore, further systematic study of the clinical characteristics and prognosis of MAFLD patients will be of great significance for the formulation of corresponding clinical prevention and treatment strategies.
The goal of this pre-intervention study is test the acceptability of Asian version of the Mediterranean diet to NAFLD patients. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: 1. Whether Asian version of the Mediterranean diet that retains the nutritional composition and can be developed by mapping the components of the Mediterranean diet and finding substitute ingredients commonly eaten in Southeast Asia. 2. Whether the 4-week menu cycle of newly developed novel Asian Mediterranean diet is acceptable among Singaporean local population. Participants will participate in taste test sessions to find out if the Asian Mediterranean diet meals are acceptable to people with NAFLD.
The study will assess the efficacy and safety of 2 dose regimens of pegozafermin for the treatment of liver fibrosis stage 2 or 3 in adult participants with MASH (previously known as nonalcoholic steatohepatitis [NASH]).
This study is open to adults who are at least 18 years old and have - presumed or confirmed NASH together with overweight or obesity and - a body mass index (BMI) of 30 kg/m² or more, or - a BMI of 27 kg/m² and at least one weight-related health problem. People with a history of other chronic liver diseases cannot take part in this study. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called survodutide helps people living with obesity or overweight and a confirmed or presumed liver disease called nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) to have less liver fat and to lose weight. Participants are put into 2 groups randomly, which means by chance. 1 group gets different doses of survodutide and 1 group gets placebo. Placebo looks like survodutide but does not contain any medicine. Every participant has a 2 in 3 chance of getting survodutide. Participants and doctors do not know who is in which group. Participants inject survodutide or placebo under their skin once a week for about 1 year. In addition to the study medicine, all participants receive counselling to make changes to their diet and to exercise regularly. Participants are in the study for about 1 year and 3 months. During this time, it is planned that participants visit the study site up to 13 times and receive 3 phone calls by the site staff. The doctors check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects. The participants' body weight is regularly measured. At 3 of the visits, the participants' liver is measured using different imaging methods. The results are compared between the groups to see whether the treatment works.
- Objectives: Primary objective_To evaluate the safety and tolerability after single oral administration of the investigational product (IP), J2H-1702 in healthy female subjects. Secondary objective_To evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) characteristics after single oral administration of the IP, J2H-1702 in healthy female subjects.
1. Research Purpose: To evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic properties of J2H-1702 (a candidate for treatment of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis) in healthy men. 2. Design: A dose block-randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, single- and multiple dosing, dose-escalation phase 1 clinical trial
The purpose of the KETONASH study is to evaluate, in patients with metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and significant liver fibrosis, the effect of a very low-calorie ketogenic diet (VLCKD) compared to that of a standard low-calorie diet (standard Mediterranean LCD - in accordance with the European Association for the Study of the Liver/European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism guidelines on MAFLD/NAFLD).
The aim of the study is to test the implication of esomeprazole as a possible potential therapy for patients with NASH through evaluating its effect on ultrasound and fibrosis risk scores, serum levels of liver fibrosis biomarkers (fibronectin 1), insulin resistance, metabolic and inflammatory parameters.
The goal of this double-blinded, randomized trial is to investigate the effects of acute binge drink on liver function, liver fat content and lipid metabolism in healthy young subjects. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. if acute binge drink could alleviate liver injury and hepatic steatosis.
