Filter by:Currently, there is no description of the contribution of the endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided shear wave elastography (SWE) when describing liver steatosis in patients with suspicion of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Similar research have been published but using vibration-controlled transient elastography (VCTE), recommended mainly due to its lower cost and less invasiveness. However, VCTE is limited to the anatomical proportions of the patient's body, and cannot assess the right hepatic lobe with less reliability, in opposition to the EUS-SWE.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of an eight-week dietary supplementation with essential amino acids plus arginine on liver and plasma lipid content, whole-body fat oxidation, whole-body insulin sensitivity, whole body protein metabolism, and body composition in obese pre-pubertal children.
The investigators hypothesize that Nigella Sativa will have an effect on Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis and Liver Steatosis by enhancing lipophagy in the liver tissue.
