The Effect of Synbiotics Supplement on Lipid Profile, Liver Enzymes, Inflammatory Factors and Hepatic Fibrosis in Lean and Normal Weight Patients With Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver
Introduction: Currently, Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) is the most common liver disease in the world. The only approved treatment for it is lifestyle modification and weight loss; however, there is no evidence for patients with normal or low body mass index (BMI).
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of symbiotic supplementation in NAFLD patients with normal or low BMI.
Methods and analysis: In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial protocol, 21 cases and 21 controls will be individually matched based on age and sex. This 42 patients with NAFLD will be supplemented twice daily for 28 wk with either a synbiotic or a placebo capsule. Both groups will be advised to follow an energy balanced diet and physical activity recommendations.
