Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Moderate exercise with a low fat and/or a moderate fat with low processed carbohydrate diet will have a greater effect on slowing disease progression and reversing hepatic steatosis and/or necro-inflammation in the liver of adult patients with NAFLD and NASH when compared to a regular healthy diet alone.
