The Metabolic Effects of Ginseng Oligopeptide Preparation on Non- Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease With Obesity: a Randomized Controlled Double-blind Trial

December 11, 2023 updated by: Peking Union Medical College Hospital
To investigate the effect of ginseng oligopeptide on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease with obesity and clarify its intervention mechanism in theory, which will contribute to the prevention and treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver more scientifically and effectively.The patients were randomly divided into two groups. One group of patients took ginseng oligopeptide orally, and the other group took placebo. The liver function, blood lipid, blood glucose, liver B ultrasound and other indicators were observed to further determine the efficacy.
