Gut bacteria chemicals in fatty liver disease
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a diagnosis of MASLD (fatty liver) confirmed by an imaging test in the last year.
- You are between 18 and 80 years old and have a Body Mass Index between 18 and 30.
- You do not have diabetes and are not taking any blood sugar-lowering medications.
- You have very regular bowel movements (every 1 to 2 days).
- You have not used antibiotics, prebiotics, or probiotics in the last 3 months, and you do not have any active serious illness.

This trial tests whether a probiotic mixture can improve liver health in people with moderate fatty liver disease (MASLD). It looks at how the probiotic affects liver fat, inflammation, and metabolism.
This study looks at a new non-invasive screening method to predict metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), a condition where fat builds up in the liver. The goal is to help identify people who may be at risk without needing invasive tests.
This study looks at blood test results in people with fatty liver disease to find common blood abnormalities. It may help doctors better understand and manage the condition.
This study is testing whether advanced imaging and other non-invasive methods can properly identify people with significant liver scarring due to metabolic liver disease or alcohol-related liver disease. It may help find better ways to track liver health without repeated needle biopsies.
This study tests a new blood test to help diagnose fatty liver disease and liver fibrosis. It aims to see how well the test works compared with a liver biopsy. Your participation could help improve diagnosis for others.
This study checks how fatty liver disease (a condition where fat builds up in the liver) affects the heart. If you have this liver condition and are between 18 and 65, you may help doctors understand the link between liver health and heart function.
