Protocol summary

Summary
The aim of our study was to examine the changes in hypertransaminasemia after weight reduction in obese patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and the relation with insulin resistance. A convenient, clinical trials study with 3 months treatment period. 80 patients (men and women) aged 20-60 years old were selected among the patient referred to gastroenterology clinic of Motahary Center. Patients selection was based on BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2, ALT≥ 43 UI/L and NAFLD patient. A population of 80 obese patients with NAFLD was randomly allocated to two groups: a) diet I (low calorie high fiber diet, high-fibre (>15 g/1,000 kcal)) and b) diet II (low calorie balanced diet), dieting along 3 months. The two diets containing 18% protein, 28% fat and 55% carbohydrate. A fasting blood sample for measuring liver function tests were collected at the beginning and after 3 months consumption of two diets. At baseline and after 3 months, the index of ALT, AST.GGT.BT, total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, blood glucose, insulin and blood pressure will be measured.
