Effects of L-carnitine supplementation on inflammatory factors and malondialdehyde in patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)
Notes for this study:
| Effect | Decrease |
| Values | Table 2 |
| Trial Design | Randomized trial |
| Trial Length | 1-6 months |
| Number of Subjects | 72 |
| Sex | Both Genders |
In a randomized, double-blind, controlled trial, 72 participants with NASH took 2000 mg l-carnitine with calorie restriction or placebo with calorie restriction for 12 weeks.
The carnitine group saw a greater reaction in hs-CRP, transforming growth factor beta, TNF-a, and malondialdehyde, which continued to be the case when adjusted for baseline values, age, and baseline BMI.
