Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Effect of n-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid Supplementation in Patients With Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
The principal purpose of this study is to determine whether increased intakes of n-3 polyunsaturated (omega-3) fatty acids will reduce the amount of fat stored in the liver in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
