FATTY LIVER

This study tests whether a daily probiotic lysate supplement can reduce fat and stiffness in the liver of adults with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Participants take either the supplement or a placebo for three months, and doctors measure changes using MRI and ultras…

This study tested a drug called tesamorelin in 51 obese adults with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The drug is designed to increase growth hormone levels, which may help reduce liver fat and inflammation. Researchers measured changes in liver fat using special scans an…

This study tested whether a 4-week program of inspiratory muscle training (using a POWERbreathe® device) could improve diaphragm thickness, reduce fatty liver, and increase aerobic capacity in 30 healthy men aged 60-80. Participants were split into a training group and a control …

This study looked at whether giving doctors the results of a blood test called ELF helps them better diagnose advanced liver scarring (fibrosis) in people with fatty liver disease. About 450 patients were randomly assigned to have the ELF test or not during their liver clinic vis…

This study looked at how people with and without non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) process food. Researchers monitored 53 adults over two days, measuring metabolism, blood, and urine after meals. The goal was to find differences that might explain why fat builds up in the…
