Protocol summary

Study aim
to determine the effect of myoinositol supplementation on serum levels of Pro-oxidant Antioxidant Balance (PAB), leptin and adiponectin , nutritional status and appetite in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
Design
Double-blinded placebo-controlled randomized controlled trial
Settings and conduct
The volunteers being eligible to participate in the study will be randomly allocated into "Myo-inositol" or "Placebo" group and followed the intervention for 8 weeks. At the beginning and and after 8 weeks, 7 cc 12-14 hour fasting blood was taken and serum samples would be used to assess liver enzymes, leptin, adiponectin and PAB.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: patients with NAFLD (grade 1 and 2) both sexes age 18-55 years BMI between 30-40 kg/m2 Exclusion criteria: Athlete, pregnancy, lactation and menopause Use of contraceptive pills and estrogen Smoking and alcohol drinking Use of any supplement or mediccations affecting liver function over last 3 months Diseases with similar pathogenesis tend to be pregnant
Intervention groups
The intervention group will take myo-inositol supplement (2 gr sachets of myo-inositol before lunch and dinner) and placebo group (2 gr sachets of maltodextrin before lunch and dinner) for 8 weeks. At the beginning of the study, both groups will be given nutritional recommendations.
Main outcome variables
Nutritional status (energy, macronutrients, micronutrients intake), Leptin and adiponectin status and their ratio, Pro-oxidant Antioxidant Balance (PAB) status, anthropometric indices (weight, BMI)- body composition (Amount and % of body FM, FFM), liver function (liver ultrasonography and enzyme levels of ALT, AST)

Sample size

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
In this study, random allocation will be performed using the r.allocation command in Stata/MP 17.0*64 software, which performs both stratification and blocking at the same time. Thus, 42 eligible patients will be classified into 8 stratas based on 3 variables: age, sex and BMI (age ("18-35" vs "36-50"), gender ("female" vs "male"), BMI ("30-35 Kg/m2" vs "35-40 Kg/m2")) and we will define these 8 stratas in the r.allocation command. Also, since we will have 2 intervention and placebo groups, we will define blocks with size 2, which will be generated automatically by the Stata software at the same time, and we will use the generated sequence for random allocation.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
The person who packaged supplements/placebo will not be aware about the content and also has no role in the implementation and analysis of the data. None of the researchers or patients will be aware of the type of combination each person is receiving.
Placebo
Used
Assignment
Parallel
Other design features
Patients in both placebo and supplement groups will receive nutritional recommendations

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group: Patients in this group will receive myo-inositol supplement and nutritional recommendation for 8 weeks. Two 2 gr sachet of myo-inositol powder will be asked to be dissolved in a glass of water and consumed twice a day 30 minutes before lunch and dinner. As there is no specific recommendation for NAFLD we use the American Diabetes Association that recommends consuming more fruits, vegetables, whole grains and less saturated fatty acids.
