If appropriate, it is recommended to use probiotic yogurt in the diet of patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver
Design
A clinical trial with a control group, parallel group, randomized groups, on 68patients. lottery container was used for randomization.
Settings and conduct
A controlled clinical trial will be performed at the Gastroenterology Clinic. Before the intervention, anthropometric indices, blood pressure, liver enzymes, glycemic index, insulin resistance, hepatic steatosis, liver fibrosis and lipid profile will be evaluated in all subjects. Individuals will be randomly divided into intervention and non-intervention groups. Intervention: 300 g daily probiotic yogurt for 12 weeks, control: 300 g normal yogurt daily for 12 weeks. The yogurts have the same color, shape, taste and smell are used so that the researcher and the patient are not aware of its type and only our distributor is aware of its type.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
1. Patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, 2. Aged 18-65 years, 3. Body mass index between 25-35 kg/m2. 4. Patients have a fixed plan for medication use during the last 3 months.
Intervention groups
Intervention: daily 300g probiotic yogurt for 12 weeks, control: 300g normal yogurt for 8 weeks
Main outcome variables
Steatosis, fibrosis and liver enzymes including ALT, AST and GGT.

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Individuals will be classified based on age(20-40/40-60), gender (male/female) and BMI (25-30/30-35) into different blocks. To do randomization, an identification code will be given to each participant, and then the codes of each two participants with the same age, gender and BMI will be poured into the lottery container. Random allocation will be done by a person who is unaware of the study. The first code will be assigned to the intervention group, the second code to the control group and so other participants will be randomly assigned to the two groups
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
The shape, appearance, packaging, color and smell of both probiotic and non-probiotic yogurts will be quite similar. In addition, the person who provides yogurts to patients is aware of the type of yogurt, but the researcher and the patient are not aware of it.
