[HTML][HTML] Short-term weight loss and hepatic triglyceride reduction: evidence of a metabolic advantage with dietary carbohydrate restriction
JD Browning, JA Baker, T Rogers, J Davis… - The American journal of …, 2011 - Elsevier
Background: Individuals with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) have excess
intrahepatic triglycerides. This is due, in part, to increased hepatic synthesis of fat from
carbohydrates via lipogenesis. Although weight loss is currently recommended to treat
NAFLD, little attention has been given to dietary carbohydrate restriction. Objective: The aim
of this study was to determine the effectiveness of 2 wk of dietary carbohydrate and calorie
restriction at reducing hepatic triglycerides in subjects with NAFLD. Design: Eighteen …
