How sugars affect fat in the liver
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how different types of sugars affect fat buildup in the liver. It is for men who are either at a healthy weight or have obesity, and also for men with a specific amount of liver fat (mild to moderate fatty liver).

This study looks at how the body handles fructose (a natural sugar) in people with different weights. It may help explain why some people process sugars differently.
This study looks at how a sugar called fructose affects inflammation and metabolism in people with a type of fatty liver disease called MASH. It aims to find out if fructose plays a role in making the disease worse.
This study looks at how fructose (a type of sugar) may affect fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in teens with obesity. The goal is to learn whether fructose changes liver health, using MRI/MRS scans to measure the liver.
This study looks at how the body handles a sugar called fructose in people with and without fatty liver disease. It aims to understand how fructose contributes to liver fat buildup.
This study looks at how the liver responds to sugar given through a vein in obese patients with and without a fatty liver condition called MASLD. It may help doctors understand why some people develop liver problems from sugar and fat.
This trial tests how different types of food (carbohydrates, fat, protein) affect blood fat levels after meals. It is for people who are healthy, have metabolic syndrome, lipodystrophy, or nephrotic syndrome, and want to understand how their body processes fats.
