Quick Summary

What was studied?

The effect of supplementation with a butyrate-based (a fatty acid) formula on biochemical and clinical parameters in the context on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

The outcomes included the following:

Fatty liver severity, measured with the Fatty Liver Index (FLI; primary outcome), the Hepatic Steatosis Index (HSI), and, more directly, using ultrasound
Liver enzymes: ALT, AST, and gamma-glutamyltransferase
Blood lipids: cholesterol (total, HDL and LDL) and triglycerides
