NCT ID NCT05842850
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 24, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a 4-week low-calorie diet can reverse fatty liver disease in people who were born with low birth weight. Researchers will compare them to people born at normal weight, using MRI scans to measure liver fat before and after the diet. Only 8 participants are being enrolled, making this a very early, small-scale investigation.
