First seen Dec 10, 2025 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 20 times

Summary

This study tests whether a Mediterranean diet combined with intermittent fasting can reduce liver scarring better than the weight-loss medication naltrexone/bupropion. About 70 adults with overweight, type 2 diabetes, or other heart-related risks and moderate liver fibrosis will be followed for six months. The goal is to see if diet can improve liver health without long-term medication.
