Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Change in liver function indicators

    Blood samples will be taken to determine changes in bilirubin, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase AST, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGTP), alkaline phosphatase,

    Baseline, Week 2, Week 4, Week 6, Week 8

  • Change in degree of steatosis and fibrosis (fibroelastometry method).

    Degree of steatosis and fibrosis will evaluated via fibroelastometry method.

    Baseline, Week 8

  • Change in degree of steatosis and fibrosis (ultrasound method)

    Ultrasound will be used for assessment of steatosis and fibrosis.

    Baseline, Week 8

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Change in biochemical blood test results (cholesterol, glucose)

    Baseline, Week 2, Week 4, Week 6, Week 8

  • Change in weight.

    Baseline, Week 2, Week 4, Week 6, Week 8

  • Detection of general clinical symptoms of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis.

    Baseline, Week 2, Week 4, Week 6, Week 8

Study Arms (3)

Dietary supplement only

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will take a sublimated mare milk of 1 sachet 3 times a day during 2 months.

Dietary Supplement: Sublimated mare's milk
