Effect of High Protein Diet on Hepatic Steatosis in Patients With MAFLD
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
High protein diet: High protein diet
Normal Protein diet: Normal protein diet
Study summary
MAFLD is a growing problem in India. Its pathophysiology is complex, but focused on abnormal substrate handling due to mitochondrial dysfunction reflecting as metabolic inflexibility. Nutrition is the cornerstone of management. The ideal macronutrient distribution within a hypocaloric diet is not known yet. Evidence from experimental and a few human studies in obese, highlight the role of dietary proteins, independent of calorie restriction, in reducing hepatic steatosis by improving the cellular and systemic bioenergetics.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
