Protocol summary

Study aim
Evaluation of the effect of sesame oil consumption on liver functionality, metabolic syndrome characteristics, insulin resistance, oxidative stress, inflammation and ultrasound findings in women with non-alcoholic fatty liver
Design
This study is a randomized, parallel, double-blind clinical trial in which 56 patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver were divided into two groups: sesame oil recipient (n = 28) and sunflower oil recipient (n = 28). For randomization, the stratified randomized permuted block method will be used by using a random number table.
Settings and conduct
In this study, 56 people with non-alcoholic fatty liver from Imam Hossein Hospital in Shahrood will be included in the study. Individuals will be randomly divided into control and intervention groups, respectively. Individuals in the intervention group will consume 30 grams of sesame oil and in the control group 30 grams of sunflower oil for 12 weeks. Blinding of oils is done by a third party who is not aware of the objectives of the study.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Female, Being 20 to 50 years old, Having Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, Routine consumption of sunflower oil, Body mass index between 25 and 40. Exclusion criteria: Smoking, Being menopausal, Having a history of breast cancer, Insulin consumption, Having other liver diseases except non-alcoholic fatty liver, Consumption of hepatotoxicity drugs, Alcohol consumption, Pregnancy, Lactation, Having hormone-dependent cysts.
Intervention groups
Consume 30 grams of sesame oil for 12 weeks in the intervention group and consume 30 grams of sunflower oil for 12 weeks in the control group
Main outcome variables
Liver enzymes, blood pressure, anthropometric indices, fasting blood sugar, lipid profile, insulin resistance, oxidative stress and inflammation indices, severity of fatty liver

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
A stratified randomized permuted block( with block size 4) will be generated by an independent bio-statistician. Random assignment will be done by the use of a table of random numbers. The participant's enrollment and assignment to the groups will be carried out by a trained nutritionist. Researchers will not be informed about the randomization process until the end of the statistical analysis (allocation concealment)
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
The blinding of the oils is done by a third party who is not aware of the objectives of the study. The oils are poured into opaque bottles with the same labels. Patients and researchers will not be aware of of which oils are inside the bottles until the end of the trial.

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group: The intervention group includes 28 patients. They are randomly placed in this group. They receive 30 grams of sesame oil daily for 12 weeks. The weight loss diet is written for each person, so that 500 calories are deducted from the calculated energy. Calibrated scales are given to them for accurate oil consumption. At the beginning and end of the study, the desired outcomes will be measured.
