Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Men or women aged≥18 years;
* Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis as determined by liver biopsies within 6 months;
* Patients with T2DM at screening had to have stable glycaemic control (HbA1c \<9.5%) .

Exclusion Criteria

3. Obstructive biliary disease;
4. Having any medical condition that would affect metabolism (i.e. Cushing syndrome, known hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism);
5. Poor glucose control (defined as HbA1C≤ 9.5% within 3 months) if diagnosed with T2DM, or taking any antidiabetic medication that would affect metabolism or weight loss (i.e. TZD, GLP-1, DPP-4i or initially using insulin in the past 3 months);
6. Taking any medication (i.e. cortisol, methotrexate)that would affect steatohepatitis for more than two weeks in the past year;

11. Women who are pregnant or plan to become pregnant;
12. Serious medical disease with likely life expectancy less than 5 years;
13. Patients who cannot be followed for 24 months (due to a health situation or migration);
14. Participation in other clinical trial in the 30 days before randomization;
15. Patients who are unwilling or unable to give informed consent.
