New scan reveals hidden metabolic clues in fatty liver disease
NCT ID NCT07366710
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study uses advanced full-body PET scans to see how the body handles sugar and amino acids in healthy people and those with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). About 36 adults aged 18-70 will receive a radioactive tracer by mouth or IV and have scans to track nutrient processing. The goal is to understand how metabolism differs in NAFLD, not to test a treatment.
