Official Title: Palmitate Breath Test to Assess Fatty Acid Oxidation in Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
Brief Summary:
Background:
- Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common cause of abnormal liver tests. It is closely linked to health problems like obesity and diabetes. Researchers want to use a breath test to measure the metabolism of fatty acids and learn more about the causes of disease. They will compare the results between people who do and do not have NAFLD. They will also repeat the test in people with NAFLD after treatment to see improvement.
Objectives:
- To measure the metabolism of fatty acids and compare them between people who do and do not have NAFLD, and people with NAFLD before and after treatment.
