Can exercise help fatty liver disease?
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether a program of physical activity can reduce fat in the muscles and liver of people with MASLD, a type of fatty liver disease linked to metabolism. It looks at how exercise might help improve liver health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of MASLD (fatty liver disease) seen on an imaging test.
- You also have excess fat stored in your muscles, confirmed by an imaging test.
- Your weight has been steady (not changing much) in the recent past.
- You do not have serious health problems like active cancer or a worsening nerve/muscle disease.
- You are able to exercise safely—no doctor's restrictions on physical activity.
