Filter by:To study the effects of Hesperidin, flaxseed and both together on lipid profile, liver enzymes, inflammatory factors and hepatic fibrosis in patients with Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH), 100 patients who referred to Gastrointestinal (GI) clinic with steatosis grade 2 and 3 will be randomly allocated to one of following four groups: control group, hesperidin group (2 capsules Hesperidin), flaxseed group (30 gram flaxseed) or flaxseed-hesperidin group (2 capsules Hesperidin and 30 gram flaxseed) for 12 weeks; both groups will be advised to adherence the investigators' diet and exercise program too. At the first and the end of the intervention, lipid profiles, liver enzymes, some inflammatory markers, and liver fibrosis will be assessed and compared between groups.
Liver disease (NAFLD) and (NASH) are a rapidly increasing population health threat driven primarily by diet and lifestyle. Fibrotic liver disease, culminating in cirrhosis, is frequently asymptomatic so it is common for a patient to first learn of what is a life threatening condition by being told that they have cirrhosis. Management and treatment of cirrhosis is complex and very costly with the only current cure being a very expensive transplant for end stage liver disease. The SUNN study seeks to perform Fibroscan wellness testing on at risk but asymptomatic self selected patients in the general population to identify disease early and to triage patients toward care or educational tools based upon test results. No personally identifiable information will be collected but demographic and test results will be imported into a registry for data analysis. Results of the study will guide development of screening protocols to identify early stage disease in a wellness screening model.
1. To evaluate hepatic fibrosis and steatosis using MR imaging, transient elastography (TE), and serum biomarker 2. To develop non-invasive diagnosis marker for NASH and advanced fibrosis
This is a multicentre, randomized, placebo-controlled trial to assess the efficacy and safety of dapagliflozin on improving non-alcoholic steatohepatitis as determined by liver biopsies and metabolic risk factors.
The Investigators will measure hepatic glucose and fat metabolism in obese girls with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) and hepatic steatosis (HS) after taking 4 weeks of an essential amino acid (EAA) supplement or placebo and test whether the EAA supplement can improve hepatic glucose metabolism in these girls.
This project aims to determine the effect of significant weight loss on rates on hepatic fibrogenesis in people with obesity.
In this nationwide multi center study the investigators combine the low dose chest CT scan data with QCT technology, to measure the BMD of spine, VAT and liver fat in the health check subjects. The aim of this study is to evaluate the performance of QCT in the health check field, and further to evaluate the prevalence of osteoporosis, obesity and liver steatosis in health check population across China.
This is a treatment study to determine if reducing the body's iron stores by blood donation will improve diabetes control and other problems associated with diabetes such as fatty liver disease.
NAFLD is the most prevalent liver disease in the U.S., and there is a serious need to understand its progression to the advanced state, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Previous studies has shown that elevated de novo lipogenesis (DNL) is the unique, early event distinguishing patients with NAFLD from equally-obese subjects with low IHTG. The purpose of this study is to directly by measure DNL in human liver tissue and comparing it to liver histological scores from patient biopsies.
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of hepatic impairment on the systemic exposure of tropifexor and to evaluate the safety of tropifexor in subjects with hepatic impairment. The results of this study will support treatment and dosing decisions for patients with varying degrees of hepatic impairment.
