NCT ID NCT05209100

First seen Apr 20, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 9 times

Summary

This study looked at whether gut bacteria can get too close to the intestinal wall in people with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Researchers studied 38 adults aged 35-65 to measure this 'microbiome encroachment' and create a biobank for future research. The goal was to better understand how gut health connects to liver problems, not to test a treatment.
