Filter by:Researchers are looking for ways to treat a type of liver disease caused by elevated liver fat, called metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). MASH was formerly called non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Researchers want to learn if a study medicine called efinopegdutide can treat MASH.The goals of this study are to learn: - If efinopegdutide can lower the amount of fat, inflammation, and scarring (fibrosis) in the liver - About the safety of efinopegdutide and how well people tolerate it
To determine the prevalence of NAFLD in T1DM patients.
To determine the prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Tree nuts - such as almonds - contribute to beneficial effects of the Mediterranean diet on risk for cardiovascular events, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension, inflammation and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Almonds provide few carbohydrates, but lots of unsaturated fat and dietary fiber. But to which extent and by which mechanisms may almonds improve all aspects of the Metabolic Syndrome? Previous clinical trials showed weaker effects than rodent studies, most possibly due to low statistical power and metabolically insusceptible patients. The 3-year AGAMEMNON project aims to investigate, if 16 weeks of supplementation with almonds (vs. no treatment) in 150 patients with prediabetes and NAFLD leads to significant improvements in glycemia and liver fat, lipid metabolism, body composition and inflammation. The isocaloric design will outrule effects of weight loss and will allow the analysis of metabolic pathways between fat depots, inflammation, insulin resistance and gut function. Lipidomics are assessed as novel predictor of disease progression and metabolic response.
This is a Phase 2 Study to evaluate the effect of DD01 treatment in overweight/obese patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD)/metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH).
This was a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical study aiming to assess the effect of a food for special medical purposes with functional release containing calcium butyrate, zinc gluconate and vitamin D3 on liver steatosis in individuals with NAFLD and metabolic syndrome
The goal of this cross-sectional observational study is to to perform a thorough characterization of the quantitative and qualitative differences in peripheral blood cells, and circulating factors (proteins, metabolites, lipids, extracellular vesicles) in different stages of several metabolic diseases (diabetes, obesity, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease) that share common pathophysiological mechanisms and in comparison with adult healthy controls. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Which are the quantitative (number and concentration) and qualtitative (characteristics, functional assays) differences in platelets in patients with metabolic diseases vs subjects without metabolic diseases - Which are the quantitative (number and concentration) and qualtitative (characteristics, functional assays) differences in leucocytes or circulating molecules in patients with metabolic diseases vs subjects without metabolic diseases
The study in question is an interventional study with nutritional intervention. the aim of the study is to evaluate whether a diet enriched with tomatoes can have favorable effects on: - specific aspects associated with NAFLD, such as the degree of hepatic steatosis and fibrosis; - circulating levels of molecules correlated with the degree of generalized and hepatic inflammation and the blood concentrations of metabolic and cardiovascular risk factors associated with abdominal obesity; - intestinal barrier; - body composition; - intestinal microbiota; - symptoms of IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) in patients with NAFLD.
Cirrhotic cardiomyopathy is seen as a blunted contractile responsiveness to stress, and/or altered diastolic relaxation with electrophysiological abnormalities, in absence of known cardiac disease. Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) is associated with risk of hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) , septic shock. , heart failure in the perioperative period following liver transplantation, and after trans-jugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) insertion . The echocardiographic E/e' ratio is a predictor of survival in LVDD, with multiple studies, including prospective data from our Centre. The inability of the heart to cope with stress or sepsis induced circulatory failure is a key concept of the increased mortality risk due to LVDD. In view of the metabolic syndrome and diabetes epidemic and an increasing number of patients being diagnosed with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, there is increased risk of developing cardiac dysfunction due to multiple comorbidities including coronary artery disease, hypertensive heart disease, cirrhotic cardiomyopathy, which are contributors to overall cardiovascular risk of mortality.
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common cause of chronic liver disease, ranging from pure steatosis to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and ultimately to liver cirrhosis. In order to study the association between NAFLD and nephrolithiasis while minimizing the confounding effect of metabolic syndrome, we investigated the impact of different degrees of NAFLD severity on potential risk factors for stone formation.
