Summary
This study tests whether eating 50 grams of peanuts daily for 12 weeks can improve liver markers and gut health in adults with metabolic fatty liver disease (MASLD). 125 participants will be randomly assigned to either eat peanuts or stick to their regular diet. Researchers will measure changes in liver enzymes, cholesterol, blood sugar, and gut bacteria.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple dietary change to help manage fatty liver disease.
