About this study

Official title: Determination of the Effect of Lyophilized Dried Cornus Mas L. Fruit Powder on Nutritional Status in Individuals With Metabolic Associated Fatty Liver Disease Combined With Medical Nutrition Therapy

The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of lyophilized Cornus mas L. fruit powder with/without diet therapy on biochemical parameters and anthropometric measurements in patients with metabolic associated fatty liver disease.

Read the detailed description

The main purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of the lyophilized dried powder form of cornelian cherry (Cornus mas L.) grown in our country on nutritional status and biochemical parameters in patients with metabolic-associated fatty liver disease.

Sub-objectives of the study;

  • Determination of the effect of cornelian cherry on blood glucose, and lipid parameters, and liver enzymes.
  • Determination of anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, and antioxidant effects of cornelian cherry in metabolic fatty liver patients.
  • Determination of the effect of cornelian cherry on anthropometric measurements.

The aim of this study is to compare the anthropometric measurements and biomarkers of patients with metabolic-associated fatty liver disease as a result of the consumption of powdered cornelian cherry (Cornus mas L.) that has been freeze-dried at -55 degrees with a Lyophilizer device for 8 weeks.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change from baseline in fasting blood glucose (mg/dL) at 8 weeks

    The fasting blood glucose at the baseline and 8 weeks later will be taken noted from the routinely requested tests in the hospital. These values will be recorded for all groups; Control Group, the Diet Group (who received a diet for 8 weeks), Cornelian Cherry and Diet Group (who received an additional 30 g/day of dried powdered Cornelian Cherry with their diet), Cornelian Cherry Group (who was given only 30 g/day of dried powdered Cornelian Cherry ), and Healthy Control Group.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  2. Change from baseline in blood lipid parameters (mg/dL) at 8 weeks

    The total triglyceride, cholesterol, LDL, and HDL at the baseline and 8 weeks later will be taken noted from the routinely requested tests in the hospital. These values will be recorded for all groups; Control Group, the Diet Group (who received a diet for 8 weeks), Cornelian Cherry and Diet Group (who received an additional 30 g/day of dried powdered Cornelian Cherry with their diet), Cornelian Cherry Group (who was given only 30 g/day of dried powdered Cornelian Cherry ), and Healthy Control Group.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  3. Change from baseline in Aspartate transaminase (AST) (u/L) at 8 weeks

    The AST levels at the baseline and 8 weeks later will be taken noted from the routinely requested tests in the hospital. These values will be recorded for all groups; Control Group, the Diet Group (who received a diet for 8 weeks), Cornelian Cherry and Diet Group (who received an additional 30 g/day of dried powdered Cornelian Cherry with their diet), Cornelian Cherry Group (who was given only 30 g/day of dried powdered Cornelian Cherry ), and Healthy Control Group.

  4. Change from baseline in BMI (kg/m2) at 8 weeks

    The body weight (kg) and height (m) of the patients with metabolic-associated fatty liver disease will be taken every 15 days for 8 weeks by trained and qualified nutritionists using standardized procedures and noted in their files. Height will be measured to the nearest 0.1 cm using a stadiometer, with shoes off. Tanita SC-330 (Accurate Technology Co., Ltd. Tianjin, China) was used to analyze body composition, and the subjects' body weight, percentage of lean mass, and fat were recorded. Body mass index (BMI) will be calculated as weight (kg) divided by height (m) squared.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  5. Change from baseline in fasting insulin (mU/L) at 8 weeks

    The fasting insulin at the baseline and 8 weeks later will be taken noted from the routinely requested tests in the hospital. These values will be recorded for all groups; Control Group, the Diet Group (who received a diet for 8 weeks), Cornelian Cherry and Diet Group (who received an additional 30 g/day of dried powdered Cornelian Cherry with their diet), Cornelian Cherry Group (who was given only 30 g/day of dried powdered Cornelian Cherry ), and Healthy Control Group.

    Measured: 8 weeks

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change from baseline in fasting blood glucose (mg/dL) at 8 weeks (time frame: 8 weeks). The study lists 11 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
