Meal timing study for fatty liver disease
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether changing when you eat (for example, shortening your daily eating window) can help improve liver health in people with fatty liver disease. If you qualify, you would receive guidance on meal timing and may help researchers learn if this approach reduces liver fat and improves overall health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a body mass index (BMI) between about 25 and 45, which means you are in the overweight or obese range.
- You have been diagnosed with fatty liver disease (MASLD), or your doctor suspects you might have it, but not in an advanced stage.
- You usually eat over a period of 14 hours or more each day (for example, from breakfast to late-night snack).
- You have lived in Cyprus for at least 1 year and are registered with the national health system (Gesy).
- You do not work night shifts, and you are not already following a strict eating schedule (like fasting for more than 12 hours a day).

This study tests if restricting eating to daytime hours for 12 weeks can reduce liver fat in people with obesity. It aims to help those with fatty liver disease improve their health without medication.
This study tests whether adding a liver stiffness measurement to a lifestyle program helps people with MASLD (a type of fatty liver disease) improve their liver health. It is designed for people who have fatty liver and at least one sign of metabolic syndrome, like high blood pressure or diabetes.
This study compares two treatments for liver scarring in people with overweight or related health issues. One group follows a special diet with restricted eating times, while the other takes a combination of two medications (naltrexone and bupropion). It aims to see which approach better improves liver fibrosis.
This study tests whether eating fewer foods that contain advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), which are compounds formed when food is cooked at high temperatures, can improve liver function in adults with fatty liver disease. If you are generally healthy, not taking medications, and have a sedentary lifestyle, this diet change might help your liver.
This study looks at whether the natural chemicals made by your gut bacteria from the food you eat could affect liver fat and health. If you have MASLD (a fatty liver condition), researchers want to measure these gut-produced substances to better understand the disease.
This study compares two eating plans—intermittent fasting and the Mediterranean diet—to see which is better for people with fatty liver disease. If you qualify, you'll try one of these diets for a period, and the researchers will track changes in your liver health.
