Filter by:The investigators will conduct an open label, experimental medicine study exploring the diurnal patterns of hepatic lipid metabolism in NAFLD and non-NAFLD participants (determined by Transient elastography (TE) with controlled attenuation parameter (CAP)). We will also determine whether the diurnal patterns of lipid metabolism in NAFLD participants can be modified using lifestyle and weight loss intervention. Fourteen participants without NAFLD will have morning and evening metabolic investigations (visit 1M & 1E) to assess for changes in lipid flux pathways across the course of the day. After morning and evening investigations their involvement in the clinical study will then end. Seventeen NAFLD participants will also have identical baseline morning and evening investigation after which they will be enrolled into a 12-week lifestyle and weight loss programme. After 12-weeks, all 17 participants with NAFLD will have a follow up CAP, and morning and evening metabolic investigations (visit 2M & 2E).
This Phase 1 trial will explore the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of single and multiple ascending doses of INI-822 in healthy volunteers in Parts A and B and in participants with a history of NASH or presumed NASH in Part C.
This is a randomized, controlled study evaluating diosmin tablets administered daily for 3 months. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of diosmin on non-diabetic patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis.
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with increased cardiovascular risk. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) on endothelial, vascular and myocardial function in patients with NAFLD
This randomized, controlled, double-blind study evaluates the utility of alpha-lipoic acid and silybum marianum , versus placebo, in the treatment of metabolic associated fatty liver disease.
In Spain, overweight and obesity prevalence is reaching 70% in men and 50% in women. Excess of triglycerides are usually stored in the subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), until a point where SAT is unable to expand further. Therefore, lipids are deposited in visceral and other peripheral organs and tissues that are not otherwise designed for adipose storage such as the liver, pancreas or the skeletal muscle, a process known as ectopic fat deposition. "Time-restricted eating" (TRE) is a recently emerged intermittent fasting approach which has the potential to maximize the beneficial metabolic effects extensively reported for energy intake restriction. Furthermore, exercise reduces hepatic steatosis and improves cardiometabolic health in humans. However, whether the effects of TRE combined with exercise on reducing hepatic steatosis are superior to TRE or exercise intervention alone remains unknown. The TEMPUS study will investigate the effects of a 12-week TRE combined with supervised exercise intervention, as compared with TRE or exercise alone, and usual-care control group, on hepatic fat (primary outcome) and cardiometabolic health (secondary outcomes) in adults with obesity; and to unveil the role of gut microbiota.
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.
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.
