Active clinical trials for "Fatty Liver"

The purpose of this study is to understand the role of GLP-1 in the pathogenesis of T2D in youth and explore their potential salutary effects and ability to delay the progressive loss of ß-cell function and reduce hepatic steatosis in youth with prediabetes/new onset T2D and NAFLD.

The microbiota is associated with a wide spectrum of diseases including diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. In this study we will investigate if the bacteria F. prausnitzii, which is a part of the human gut microbiota, can improve metabolic parameters in subjects with impaired glucose control.

Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) is one of the most prevalent chronic liver diseases in Brazil and its treatment is still limited. Thus, this project aims to conduct a double-blind, controlled, randomized clinical trial to evaluate the effect of silymarin on laboratory markers and clinical evolution of adult patients with NAFLD treated at Edgard Santos Hospital, as well as identify the dietary pattern of these individuals.

This is a treatment study to determine if reducing the body's iron stores by blood donation will improve diabetes control and other problems associated with diabetes such as fatty liver disease.

Obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are two related growing epidemics that are becoming pressing public health concerns. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is a promising cost-effective and time-efficient exercise modality for managing obesity and NAFLD. However, patients with obesity and NAFLD are generally inactive and unfit, and might feel intimidated by the frequency of the prescribed HIIT (conventionally three times weekly). Previous HIIT studies, mostly over 2-4 month periods, showed that the participants could accomplish this exercise frequency under a controlled laboratory environment, but the long-term adherence and sustainability, especially in a field setting, remains uncertain. The situation is more unclear if we also consider those individuals who refused to participate possibly because of their overwhelming perceptions or low self-efficacy toward HIIT. Thus, logically, HIIT at a lower frequency would be practical and more suitable for patients with obesity and NAFLD, but the minimum exercise frequency required to improve health, especially in the long-term, is unknown. This proposed study aims to examine the effectiveness of long-term low-frequency HIIT for improving body adiposity and liver fat in centrally obese adults. The premise of this proposal is supported by recent findings that HIIT performed once a week could improve cardiorespiratory fitness, blood pressure, cardiac morphology, metabolic capacity, muscle power, and lean mass. This study will provide evidence for the benefits of long-term low-frequency HIIT with a follow-up period to assess its effectiveness, safety, adherence, and sustainability. We expect this intervention will enhance the practical suitability of HIIT in inactive obese adults and will provide evidence for low-frequency HIIT as a new exercise option in the management of obesity and NAFLD.

The primary aim is to establish the safety, efficacy and mechanism of action of lanifibranor in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Specifically, to determine if lanifibranor decreases intrahepatic triglycerides (IHTG) (primary endpoint), improves hepatic insulin sensitivity, endogenous (hepatic) glucose production, de novo lipogenesis (DNL), HbA1c and lipid profiles. In addition, exploratory analysis with surrogate plasma biomarkers and imaging on liver fibrosis changes on with treatment will be performed.

Lifestyle changes aiming at weight loss remain the cornerstone of MAFLD treatment.Evaluating the motivational stage of patients' change and providing targeted lifestyle guidance may significantly improve the efficiency of weight loss. The investigators hypothesize that gut microbiota may affect motivation to lose weight, and the changes in gut microbiota due to weight loss may positively feedback the behavior of motivation, forming a virtuous circle. Thus, this study aims at ①evaluating the relationships between motivational stage of weight loss and the gut microbiota (Gut-brain axis); ②investigating the effects of lifestyle interventions on the gut microbiota in MAFLD patients.

NAFLD is a growing threat to public health. Currently, there is a significant need for highly effective treatments for NAFLD. Non-obese NAFLD (BMI<30kg/m2) is an increasingly recognized condition, sometimes described as "lean NAFLD". Intermittent Fasting (IF) may be uniquely beneficial in non-obese NAFLD. The purpose of this study is to identify non-pharmacologic, lifestyle-based methods of NAFLD treatment within non-obese adults.

The aim of the current study is to evaluate the safety and efficay of cilostazol in treatment of patients with fatty liver disease. Several previous reports have shown that cilostazol ameliorates lipid imbalances in NAFLD. Cilostazol appeared to exert beneficial effects against NAFLD
