Liver metabolism study in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial studies how the liver processes fat in people with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). It uses MRI scans to look at liver metabolism, which may help doctors understand the disease better and find new treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and no other liver disease.
- You are not a heavy drinker (less than 5 drinks per week for women, 6 for men).
- You are not claustrophobic and have no metal implants (so you can have an MRI).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

This study looks at how the liver's mitochondria (the energy powerhouses of cells) work in people with fatty liver disease. Participants will have an MRI scan and receive a small amount of fat solution through an IV to see how the liver processes fat.
This study follows people with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease to better understand the condition. It uses an MRI scan and collects body samples to help researchers study changes over time.
This study looks at people with fatty liver disease and common health issues like obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, or abnormal cholesterol. It may help researchers understand how liver fat and heart/metabolism problems relate and how they affect health over time.
This study uses a new MRI technique to measure how metabolic fatty liver disease affects your body and to track your health over time. It aims to improve understanding of the condition and guide treatment.
This study collects information about metabolic and unexplained (cryptogenic) liver disease and looks at “omics” tests, which are lab tests that measure patterns in blood or tissue to learn what drives the disease. It may help researchers better understand fatty liver and related serious complications, like liver scarring and liver cancer.
This study looks at blood cells and factors in people with metabolic diseases like fatty liver, prediabetes, or type 2 diabetes. It aims to better understand these conditions by comparing them with healthy volunteers.
