  • Protocol summary

    Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the effects of the hypocaloric Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet on insulin resistance, inflammatory factor and biomarkers of oxidative stress in patients with fatty liver. Study design: parallel single-blind randomized controlled clinical trial. Inclusion criteria: All patients with laboratorial and sonographical criteria of fatty liver. Exclusion criteria: Patients with viral hepatitis, hemochromatosis, Wilson or autoimmune hepatitis. Population and sample size: 60 patients with fatty liver among subjects of eligible and referred to Beheshti Clinic affiliated to Kashan University of Medical Sciences, Kashan, Iran in the study will be selected. Intervention: Patients will be assigned to receive either the DASH diet (intervention group) or the standard diet (control group). Fasting blood samples will be taken at baseline and after 8-wk intervention to measure metabolic profiles, inflammatory factor and biomarkers of oxidative stress. Start and End Date of Intervention: 2 months (November 20, 2013-Jonvier 20, 2014). Outcomes: Baseline and End-of-trial fasting plasma glucose (FPG), serum insulin, hs-CRP levels, plasma total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and total glutathione (GSH) will be measured.

    هدف: هدف این مطالعه تعیین اثرات راهکارهای رژیمی متوقف کننده فشار خون (DASH) کم کالری بر روی مقاومت به انسولین، فاکتور التهابی و بیومارکرهای استرس اکسیداتیو در بیماران مبتلا به کبد چرب است. طراحی مطالعه: تصادفي کارآزمایی بالینی یک سوکور موازی. معیار ورود: کلیه بیمارانی که معیار های ازمایشگاهی و سونو گرافی کبد چرب را داشته باشند. معیار خروج: بیمارانی که همزمان با تغییرات ازمایشگاهی و سونوگرافی از نظر هپاتیت های ویروسی ، ویلسون، همو کروماتوز یا هپاتیت های اتو امیون مثبت باشند. حجم نمونه و جمعیت مورد مطالعه: 60 بیمار مبتلا به کبد چرب واجد شرایط و ارجاع شده به کلینیک بهشتی وابسته به دانشگاه علوم پزشکی کاشان، کاشان، ایران در مطالعه انتخاب خواهند شد. مداخله مورد مطالعه: بیماران برای دریافت رژیم دش (گروه مداخله) یا رژیم استاندارد (گروه کنترل) تقسیم خواهند شد. نمونه خون ناشتا در ابتدای مطالعه و 8 هفته بعد از مداخله برای تعیین پروفایل های متابولیک، فاکتور التهابی و بیومارکرهای استرس اکسیداتیو از بیماران گرفته خواهد شد. زمان مداخله: 2 ماه (از 29 آبان 1392 تا 29 دی 1392). پيامدها: گلوکز پلاسمایی ناشتا، سطوح سرمی انسولین، hs-CRP، ظرفیت آنتی اکسیدانی توتال و گلوتاتیون توتال پلاسما در ابتدا و انتهای مداخله اندازه گیری خواهد شد.

Protocol summary

Study aim
The aim of this study is to determine the effects of the hypocaloric Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet on insulin resistance, inflammatory factor and biomarkers of oxidative stress in patients with fatty liver.
Design
Study design: parallel single-blind randomized controlled clinical trial.
Settings and conduct
Population and sample size: 60 patients with fatty liver among subjects of eligible and referred to Naghavi Clinic affiliated to Kashan University of Medical Sciences, Kashan, Iran in the study will be selected.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Patients with laboratorial and sonographical criteria of fatty liver and aged 25 to 75 years will be included in this study. Exclusion criteria: Consumption of alcohol, pregnancy and lactation, hereditary hemochromatosis, history of jejunoileal bypass surgery or gastroplasty, taking hepatotoxic drugs such as calcium channel blocker and high doses of synthetic estrogens, history of hypothyroidism, cushing’s syndrome, renal failure and kidney stones.
Intervention groups
Intervention: Patients will be assigned to receive either the DASH diet (intervention group) or the standard diet (control group). Fasting blood samples will be taken at baseline and after 8-wk intervention to measure metabolic profiles, inflammatory factor and biomarkers of oxidative stress. Start and End Date of Intervention: 2 months
Main outcome variables
Outcomes: Alanine aminotransferase (primary outcome), and clinical and metabolic profiles (secondry outcomes) will be quantified at the study baseline and end-of-trial.
