Filter by: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
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.
The incidence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is increasing with obesity, and it is believed that ongoing inflammation in obesity and alterations in the enterohepatic axis contribute to this process. This study aimed to determine the role of fecal calprotectin (FCP) as an inflammatory biomarker in course of obesity and NAFLD.
In this research, the investigators tested the effect of 12-week supplementation with soy isoflavones on non alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) management and the level of fibroblast growth factor-21 (FGF-21) and fetuin A as markers of NAFLD progression.
this study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Probiotics supplementation (lactobacillus) on NAFLD fibrosis score.
Dietary intakes of saturated fatty acids remain well above nutritional recommendations for most European countries. This may progressively lead to a pro-inflammatory context and the alteration of lipid metabolism in the liver. The hypothesis of this study is that TOTUM-448 promotes the normal function of hepatocytes in a mild inflammatory context. To determine the cellular and molecular effects of TOTUM-448, circulating bioactive molecules after TOTUM-448 intake will be collected and then studied in human hepatocytes using an innovative ex vivo clinical approach developed by Clinic'n'Cell.
The primary objective of this pilot study is to assess the feasibility and acceptability of an intervention for improved detection and evidence-based care of NAFLD in Latinx and Black patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in Duke University Healthcare system (DUHS). We will enroll 10-15 Latinx and 10-15 Black patients with T2D and NAFLD, based on having mildly elevated liver enzymes (ALT >/= 40 IU/mL in males, ALT >/= 31 IU/mL in females) and exclusion of other liver diseases (e.g., viral hepatitis, alcohol abuse). Intervention content will include: 1) NAFLD education; 2)diet/lifestyle support; 3) T2D medication management; and 4) clinically-indicated liver testing and care. Intervention feasibility will be evaluated by examining recruitment rates, retention rates, and study visit completion rates. Acceptability will be assessed by survey and through qualitative interviews. The project objectives and intervention are minimal risk. The expected risks will not exceed those of usual care.
This study was planned to examine the prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency, insulin resistance, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and their relationship with each other and the nutritional status of individuals with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in reproductive age, by evaluating anthropometric, biochemical, and ultrasonographic findings and food consumption frequency data.
Objectives To evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of lubiprostone in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This study will include 100 patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) recruited from the specialized NAFLD outpatient's clinic in National Hepatology and Tropical Medicine Research Institute (NHTMRI). Study design: Randomized controlled trial.
This is a two-part study. In Part A, eligible participants will undergo a baseline diagnostic liver biopsy to determine non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) Activity Score (NAS) and fibrosis stage, but will not receive study intervention. In Part B, participants with histologically confirmed NAFLD or non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) will receive study intervention.
