Filter by:This research is being done to find out if aerobic exercise is beneficial in reversing scarring. Physical activity has been shown to increase fitness in healthy individuals as well as in those with NASH. This research will allow for better understanding the effects of physical activity on fitness and endothelial function in patients with NASH with the goal of reversing scarring. Approximately 12 people will take part in this research study at Penn State (PSU) Milton S. Hershey Medical Center (HMC), Penn State Physical Medicine & Research (PM&R) Laboratories housed at the Hershey Center for Applied Research (HCAR) and the Penn State University Fitness Center (UFC).
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate safety and efficacy of Saroglitazar Magnesium 2 mg and 4 mg in patients with NASH. This study will be initiated after obtaining the approvals of Institutional Ethics Committee/Institutional Review Board (IEC/IRB) and the local regulatory authority.
This study will look at physical activity and nutrition in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) or non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). The researchers will see if providing patients with NAFLD/NASH with specific physical activity and nutrition feedback as an addition to their usual clinical care helps them to lose weight and improve liver-related parameters.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of EYP001a (Vonafexor) with respect to safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and on markers of liver inflammation in patients with NASH
Human microbiota is the set of microorganisms that, in a symbiotic way, coexist and develop in the different surfaces (skin and mucous membranes) of the human body. It is estimated that it is composed of approximately 10^14 bacteria and other unicellular life forms . The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is the organ in which the microbiota reaches its greatest complexity, influencing its metabolic activities in different organs and human systems. Human microbiota plays a role in multiple homeostatic and physiological functions including energy and intermediary metabolism, normal immune responses, and even appropriate bowel development and nervous system functioning. Given its vascular supply, the liver plays important roles in metabolism and immunological functions. It receives 70% of blood supply through the portal vein which carries all metabolic products derived from GI microbiota. Non alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common cause of chronic liver disease in developed countries (with an estimated prevalence around 25 - 40% of adults) and it is expected that the burden of disease will increase in the near future. This condition can progress through a spectrum of progressive liver damage to non alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), liver fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer. Around 20-30% of NAFLD patients develop NASH, with a lower rate progressing further to fibrosis and cirrhosis. Currently, there is no approved pharmacological or interventional treatment for the management of this so prevalent disease, apart from changes in lifestyle aiming weight loss. The aim of the present pilot study is to assess the efficacy and safety of microbiota manipulation by means of Fecal Microbiota Transplantation in the treatment of patients with NASH.
This study aims to prospectively assess the repeatability and reproducibility of iron-corrected T1 (cT1), T2*, and hepatic proton density fat fraction (PDFF) quantification with multiparametric MRI using the LiverMultiScan™ (LMS, Perspectum Diagnostics, Oxford, UK) protocol across different field strengths, scanner manufacturers and models.
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.
The overall goal of this collaborative research program is to develop, validate and translate advanced quantitative magnetic resonance (MR) biomarkers of obesity-associated non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This protocol represents the research plan for two distinct phases. The first phase is an optimization phase. The second phase is designed to complete a rigorous test of conventional and advanced MRE techniques. Complementary anthropometric, laboratory, and MR measures will also be collected to characterize the cohort and identify factors that affect MRE performance
This study evaluates the dietary and therapeutic effect of supplement consisting of sublimated mare milk among patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis.
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of Nitazoxanide (NTZ) 500mg Twice Daily (BID) after 24 weeks of treatment in patients with NASH induced Stage 2 or Stage 3 fibrosis
