Active clinical trials for "Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease"

In China, with the improvement of living standards, there is a significant increase in the rate of prevalence of type 2 diabetes and hyperlipidemia, associated with Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease（NAFLD） which has gradually become a major public health problem in our country. The latest study found that intestinal microflora imbalance is closely correlated with NAFLD. In this subject, the investigators aim to explore whether intestinal microbiota transplantation(IMT) could reverse the change of intestinal microflora imbalance and has direct effects of NAFLD.

To study the effects of Hesperidin supplement on lipid profile, liver enzymes, inflammatory factors and hepatic fibrosis in patients with Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH), 50 patients who referred to Gastrointestinal (GI) clinic with steatosis grade 2 and 3 will be randomly allocated to receive placebos or 2 capsules Hesperidin 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.

This is a randomised clinical trial which aims to evaluate the efficacy of Compound Zhenzhu Tiaozhi capsules in the treatment of NAFLD and analyze the relationship between improvement in NAFLD parameters and changes in intestinal functions.

This study was designed to evaluate the effect of Nesinaact on non-alcoholic steatohepatitis through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based proton density-fat fraction (MRI-PDFF) and liver fibroscan in patients with type 2 diabetes. This is a prospective, open-label, single-arm, single-center clinical Study. After 24 weeks of Nesinaact 25/15 (Alogliptin benzoate 25mg, pioglitazone hydrochloride 15mg) treatment, the improvement of parameters estimated by MRI and liver fibroscan will be estimated.

Randomized Controlled Trial comparing the effects of Bariatric Surgery vs. Lifestyle modification on NASH resolution.

This short-term, randomized, placebo-controlled, investigator-initiated trial aims to establish metabolic improvements in NAFLD subjects by dietary supplementation with cofactors N-acetylcysteine, L-carnitine tartrate, nicotinamide riboside and serine. Concomitant use of pivotal metabolic cofactors via simultaneous dietary supplementation will stimulate three different pathways to enhance hepatic β-oxidation and this study's hypothesis is that this will result in decreased amount of fat in the liver.

The purpose of the study is to examine the effects of modified time-restricted feeding and conventional dietary approaches in motivated obese fatty liver patients on biochemical markers, imaging studies, and anthropometric measurements.

Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) is characterized by excessive accumulation of lipids in hepatocytes, not associated with alcohol consumption and ranges from hepatic steatosis to steatohepatitis, a form that can progress to cirrhosis or hepatocarcinoma, and is considered a liver manifestation of the metabolic syndrome (MetS). The disease occurs in 16 - 30% of the general population, but can reach up to 90% of obese individuals. Changes in lifestyle, including weight loss and physical activity are indicated with first choices for improvement of the liver condition. Recently the relationship between obesity, diabetes, MetS and NAFLD with intestinal microbiota has also been suggested in the development and progression of liver disease, since it is related to hepatic steatosis and inflammation. In this sense, this work aims to evaluate the effects of probiotic supplementation on intestinal microbiota modulation, degree of hepatic fibrosis and steatosis, inflammation and body composition.

The objectives of the present study are: 1) to identify the intestinal and salivary microbiota associated with the presence and severity of hepatic steatosis in children (Study I: case-control study), and 2) to develop a personalized 12-week intervention program based on diet and exercise to examine its effects on the diversity and composition of the microbiota in children with hepatic steatosis (Study II: intervention study)

The purpose of the study is to compare the impact of atorvastatin 20mg qd and Vitamin E 300mg qd therapy on liver fat content in patients with type 2 diabetes associated with high LDL-C and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
