Exercise types for improving gut health in fatty liver disease
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of exercise training (high-intensity interval training versus moderate continuous exercise) to see which better improves the balance of bacteria in the gut for people with fatty liver disease. If you have fatty liver and are obese, exercising may help improve your liver and overall health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 60 years old and have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (a buildup of fat in the liver not caused by alcohol), confirmed by an ultrasound.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 30 and 34.9, which is considered obese.
- You have central obesity, meaning your waist is at least 90 cm if you are a man or 85 cm if you are a woman.
- You have not been regularly exercising (less than 3 times per week and less than 30 minutes per session) in the past year.
- You have not taken antibiotics or probiotics (supplements for gut health) in the last 3 months.
- If you are taking stable doses of certain medicines like metformin, sulfonylureas (for diabetes), statins (for cholesterol), or blood pressure drugs, you may still be eligible.
