Brief Summary

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

Patients with metabolic syndrome and Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) will be randomly allocated for the treatment with n-3 PUFA (3.6 g/day) or placebo for 12 months. At the beginning and at the end of the study basic clinical and anthropometric data, as well as parameters of liver steatosis and fibrosis will be tested.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Patients with metabolic syndrome and Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) will be randomly allocated for the treatment with n-3 PUFA (3.6 g/day) or placebo for 12 months. At the beginning and at the end of the study basic clinical and anthropometric data will be recorded and the following parameters will be tested:

panel of biochemistry and liver function tests: triglycerides, cholesterol, HDLcholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, glucose, insulin, serum bilirubin, liver tests, thyroid hormones, bile acids and their metabolites, albumin, total protein.

Bioactive metabolites, Inflammatory markers Non-invasive serum markers of liver fibrosis and steatohepatitis. Hyaluronic acid, NAFLD fibrosis score, cytokeratine-18 fragments. Ultrasonography with non-invasive measurement of fibrosis and steatosis, magnetic resonance spectroscopy for visceral and liver fat determination.
