Brief Summary

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

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with increased cardiovascular risk. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) on endothelial, vascular and myocardial function in patients with NAFLD

Detailed Description

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

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with increased cardiovascular risk. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) on endothelial, vascular and myocardial function in patients with NAFLD. In this trial patients with NAFLD will receive 240mg Q10 or placebo. At baseline and at 6 months, will be measured: a) Perfused boundary region (PBR) of the sublingual vessels using the SideviewDarkfieldimaging technique (Microscan, Glycocheck), b) pulse wave velocity (PWV-Complior, ALAM), c) flow-mediated dilation (FMD) of the brachial artery, d) left ventricular (LV) global longitudinal strain (GLS), and e) controlled attenuation parameter (CAP)for the quantification of liver steatosis by liver elastography (Fibroscan, Echosens).
