Impact of Soymilk on Liver Disease Severity of Children With Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)
Recruiting
A randomized, controlled study of standard soy milk consumption compared to 2% fat cow's milk consumption in children with Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). The investigators hypothesize that the daily consumption of soy isoflavones found in the soy milk will be beneficial in reducing NAFLD and other obesity-related comorbidities. The investigators do not expect any adverse endocrine or metabolomic effects from the consumption of soy isoflavones.

Fibrosis Lessens After Metabolic Surgery
Recruiting
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), formerly known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a major global public health concern, is commonly associated with obesity, diabetes, and dyslipidemia. MASLD is currently the most common cause of chronic liver disease affecting about 80% of people with obesity, ranging from simple fat deposits in the liver to Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis (MASH), cellular injury, advanced fibrosis, cirrhosis, or hepa...

Objective: To find out how the liver in people with NAFLD responds to feeding, and how this relates to their response to the drug semaglutide. Eligibility: People with NAFLD and healthy volunteers ages 18 and older Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical history Physical exam... Read More

A Clinical Study of Efinopegdutide in People With Compensated Cirrhosis Due to Steatohepatitis (MK-6024-017)
Recruiting
Researchers are looking for ways to treat a type of liver disease caused by elevated liver fat, called metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). MASH was formerly called non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Researchers want to learn if a study medicine called efinopegdutide can treat MASH.The goals of this study are to learn: * If efinopegdutide can lower the amount of fat, inflammation, and scarring (fibrosis) in the liver * About the safety of efinopegdutide and how well peopl...

Effect of Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty in Patients With Obesity and MASH: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Recruiting
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is the most common chronic liver disease globally. While weight loss through lifestyle modification is the standard treatment, most patients regain weight limiting ultimate improvement in liver disease. On the other end of the spectrum, bariatric surgery has shown promise in the treatment of MASLD/metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) due to its efficacy in inducing weight loss. Nevertheless, its adoption has been... Read More

Human Models of Selective Insulin Resistance: Alpelisib, Part I
Recruiting
The goal of this clinical trial is to understand how the blood sugar-lowering hormone insulin works in healthy adults versus those who are at risk for type 2 diabetes. The study will use a drug called alpelisib, which interferes with insulin's actions in the body, to answer the study's main question: does the liver continue to respond to insulin's stimulation of fat production even when it loses the ability to stop making glucose (sugar) in response to insulin. Researchers will compare the impac... Read More

Harnessing Macrophage Lysosomal Lipid Metabolism in Obesity (ATM)
Recruiting
The goal of this study is to evaluate the role of transcription factor EB (TFEB) in adipose (fat) tissue macrophages (ATM) in regulating adipose tissue and systemic metabolic function in obesity. The investigators will assess the differences in ATM lipid metabolism in people with metabolically abnormal obesity and lean individuals. Both groups will have: * screening visit * imaging (body composition testing - dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scans, magnetic resonance imaging \[MRI\] and... Read More

The Gut, Liver And Metabolome in Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
Recruiting
Persons with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have higher risk of developing fatty liver disease (NAFLD) than HIV-negative persons but the reasons for this discrepancy are not known. Changes in the intestinal microbiome may contribute to the development of NAFLD in persons with HIV (PWH) through impairment of barrier function of the intestinal wall and by producing metabolites that are harmful to the liver. This project will test the hypothesis that HIV-related NAFLD is associated with differe... Read More
