Summary
This study tested whether taking phytosterols (plant-based supplements) for 3 months can improve liver health, cholesterol, and insulin levels in people with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). 27 participants took either phytosterol pills or a placebo. Researchers measured liver enzymes, blood fats, and other markers to see if the supplement helps manage the condition.
