Fasting glucose and insulin levels. PT/INR and PTT levels. Vital signs
Efficacy Outcome
To determine efficacy of resveratrol to reduce hepatic and cardiac triglyceride content in adolescents with NAFL MR spectroscopy will be performed using a 3.0-Tesla whole-body magnet. Sixty-four spectra will be acquired and averaged for the determination of intracellular water and lipid content. LCModel software will be used to isolate and quantify lipid and water peaks. Hepatic steatosis will be defined as hepatic triglyceride content of >.5% fat/water.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Efficacy Outcome
To determine efficacy of resveratrol to reduce whole body insulin resistance in overweight and obese adolescents with NAFL. The 3-hr frequently sampled oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) using a standard 75-gram-glucose-load will be performed at the baseline visit and after completion of supplementation (day 30; visit 3). Blood samples will be collected at 20, 30, 60, 90, 120 and 180 minutes after ingestion of glucose will be used for the determination of insulin sensitivity using the Matsuda index
Efficacy Outcome
To determine the effects of resveratrol on cardiac function and morphology in the study population. Cardiac function and morphology will be measured using a cardiac ultrasound at baseline (day 0) and at completion of supplementation (day 30; visit 3).
Efficacy Outcome
To determine the effect of resveratrol supplementation on serum markers of inflammation. Inflammatory markers will be assessed by measurements of circulating adiponectin, leptin, CRP, ESR, TNFalpha, IL-1beta, IL-6, and IL-10, using commercially available ELISA assays.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The current project is designed as a 30-day pilot trial to demonstrate the safety and tolerability of resveratrol therapy in overweight adolescents to decrease liver fat, and improve insulin sensitivity to prevent type 2 diabetes.
Detailed Description
Pilot study of 10 overweight or obese children with MRS determined fatty liver randomized to resveratrol or placebo. Primary outcome measures include change in liver triglyceride content as determined by MRS and improvement in insulin resistance as determined by the area under the curve of glucose excursion during a 75 gram oral glucose tolerance test.
