Filter by:The main objective is to compare the accuracy of transient elastography taking into account liver steatosis determined by MRI, to liver biopsy for the diagnosis of liver fibrosis ≥F2 in patient with NAFLD.
SwissChronoFood - Study of eating patterns with a smartphone app and the metabolic effects of time restricted feeding in metabolic syndrome The purpose of this study is to assess eating patterns among teenagers and adults with a new method, going beyond the pen-and-paper food diaries, and to investigate whether time restricted feeding leads to weight loss, improvement in lipid and glucose metabolism in individuals with components of the metabolic syndrome
The primary objective of this study is to investigate the change in Alanine Aminotransaminase (ALT) in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) initiating Sodium Glucose Cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, liraglutide, or sitagliptin, compared to a control group of patients who did not initiate a new antihyperglycemic therapy. The hypothesis is that patients using Sodium Glucose Cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) will achieve a greater reduction in ALT compared to the control group.
This Study purpose to verify change of variety factors that the cause of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and its process through salsalate injection to osteoarthritis patient who has non alcoholic fatty liver
This is a non-randomized, 2-part, open-label, drug-drug interaction (DDI) study to evaluate the effect of concomitant administration of itraconazole or rifampin on the pharmacokinetics and safety of EDP-305 in healthy human volunteers.
Excessive fat in the liver, in absence of high alcohol consumption, is diagnosed as non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFL). NAFL prevalence is as high as 50-70% in obese people and is associated with impairments in metabolic health, e.g. insulin resistance. Not only the amount, but also the composition of the fat stored in the liver appears to be linked to health outcome measures, such as insulin resistance, but this evidence comes mainly from animal studies. Since fat composition has been linked to health outcome measures, it is important to understand what determines the fatty acid composition of liver fat. De novo lipogenesis (DNL) and adipose tissue fat composition are factors that could determine liver fat composition. Since the end product of DNL are saturated fatty acids and as the majority of fatty acids in the liver originate from adipose tissue, both may influence hepatic fatty acid composition profoundly. Here, our primary hypothesis is that DNL is associated with the relative amount of saturated fatty acids in the liver in overweight/obese humans differing in liver fat content. Furthermore, we hypothesise that adipose tissue fat composition is associated with liver fat composition and that liver fat composition is associated with liver, muscle and whole body insulin sensitivity in overweight/obese humans differing in liver fat content. To this end, liver fat composition, adipose tissue fat composition, DNL and insulin sensitivity will be measured in overweight/obese participants differing in liver content.
The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of LIK066 on a variety of metabolic and inflammation biomarkers in patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)
To determine the effect of diet and lifestyle, particularly vegetarian diets on chronic degenerative disease outcomes in a cohort of Taiwanese Buddhists participants
The effects of Mediterranean Diet (MedDiet) on clinical, biochemical and inflammatory profile in NAFLD patients with simple steatosis. Potential associations of single nucleotide polymorphisms to diet composition and patients' profile were also investigated.
The study drug (VLX103) is being developed for the treatment of Alcoholic Steatohepatitis and other liver diseases. Alcoholic Steatohepatitis is an inflammatory (associated with irritation, swelling and cell damage) disease that affects the liver. It is associated with heavy and chronic intake of alcohol and presence of fat in the liver. Signs and symptoms often include fever, yellowing of the skin, nausea and impairment of liver function. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the safety, pharmacodynamics (what the drug does to the body) and pharmacokinetics (how the drug is handled by the human body, like absorption and elimination) of increasing doses of VLX103 in subjects with moderate Alcoholic Steatohepatitis. In other words, we will evaluate how your body tolerates VLX103 at a specific dose and the effects that this VLX103 dose has on your liver and your body in general. The secondary objectives of this study are to evaluate if VLX103 has the potential to treat Alcoholic Steatohepatitis patients, to determine the maximum dose that can be tolerated, and to measure the levels of VLX103 in your blood at different time points during the study. VLX103 is an experimental drug. Experimental means that the drug has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of Alcoholic Steatohepatitis. The active ingredient in VLX103, pentamidine, is approved for treating parasitic (microorganisms) infections. Pentamidine is currently approved and marketed in about 20 countries, including the United States, for use by injection (administered by a syringe) and by inhalation (administered by a nebulizer) for other health conditions. However, VLX103 is the first oral form of pentamidine being developed, and is administered by mouth as an oral tablet.
