Active clinical trials for "Fatty Liver"

Among South Asians, in comparison to Western Europeans, there is an increased risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) and DM2-related cardiovascular disease. The effect of Liraglutide (Victoza®) on cardiovascular function is therefore investigated in the DM2 patient group of South Asian descent specifically. Liraglutide is a new widely prescribed therapeutic agent for DM2 patients. It is a Glucagon Like Peptide - 1 homologue that improves glucose homeostasis and reduces blood pressure and body weight. The disadvantageous metabolic phenotype as seen in South Asians includes a relatively large total fat mass, with predominately visceral relative to subcutaneous adipose tissue and lower brown adipose tissue volume and activity, accompanied by increased lipid levels. The key elements in the mechanism of action of Liraglutide seem to correspond to the differences in metabolic profile between South Asians and Western Europeans. Diastolic dysfunction, an early finding of cardiovascular disease in DM2 and obesity and an independent predictor of mortality, has been shown to be associated with the amount of triglyceride accumulation in the heart and liver. The investigators hypothesize that Liraglutide has direct advantageous cardiovascular effects and reduces triglyceride accumulation in end-organs, specifically for DM2 patients of South Asian descent.

Investigators perform a counseling intervention study (6 months) in adult subjects with evidence of Fatty Liver by Ultrasound, graded 0-3 according to the Bright Liver Score (BLS); exclusion criteria are diabetes, renal insufficiency (glomerular filtration rate < 90 ml/min), cancer, heart failure > II NYHA ( New York Heart Association) Class), chronic virus hepatitis, and cirrhosis. Insulin resistance was assessed as homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) . Suggestions and advice on individual "healthy" food purchase, storage, and cooking were given. Reliable feedback and evidence of patients' adherence were obtained by scheduled dietician's interviews. Investigators will challenge the predictive effects of the Adherence to Mediterranean Diet, of Western dietary profile score and of increased physical activity at 6 months in a body mass index changes-balanced model to detect independent effects, if any, of the studied variable on NAFLD persistence, amelioration or disappearance. Threshold and odds of Mediterranean and Western dietary profile score will be calculated by contingency tables and receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC) analysis..

The primary aim of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of Px-104 in NAFLD patients and to assess the influence of Px-104 on hepatic fat.

To study the effects of Resveratrol supplement on lipid profile, liver enzymes, inflammatory factors and hepatic fibrosis in patients with Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver (NAfLD), 50 patients who referred to Gastrointestinal (GI) clinic with steatosis grade 1 or more will be randomly allocated to receive 1 Resveratrol capsules or placebos for 12 weeks; both groups will be advised to adherence our diet and exercise program too. At the first and the end of the intervention, lipid profiles, liver enzymes, some inflammatory cytokines, and liver fibrosis will be assessed and compared between groups.

A Phase 2a, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center study of cenicriviroc (CVC) to be conducted in approximately 50 adult obese subjects [body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m^2] with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes mellitus and suspected NALFD.

The investigators want to evaluate the effects and safety of ginger in treatment of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of HL tablet on reducing hepatic fat in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease patients. The patients are allocated to three groups; low dose, high dose, and placebo control group.

This study is a double-blind randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, 12 week study performed in up to 5 centres in Sweden to assess the effect of Omega-3 carboxylic acids and dapagliflozin on liver fat in patients with Type 2 diabetes with fatty liver (>5.5% as measured with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI))

Fatty liver disease is an increasing problem in overweight and obese young adults. The purpose of this study is to test the effect of growth hormone on liver fat in obese young adults ages 18-29y with increased liver fat.

Fatty liver disease is an increasingly recognized health problem in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Sodium glucose co-transporter type 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors are a new class of anti-diabetic agents that cause weight loss by inducing glycosuria. The effect of SGLT-2 inhibitors on liver fat content is not evaluated. Empagliflozin is an orally active, selective inhibitor of SGLT-2. We hypothesized that Empagliflozin, when added to standard care for T2DM, would improve fatty liver disease. Therefore, the present study is planned to evaluate the effect of Empagliflozin on the liver fat content.
