Abstract focus
The results indicate that oral supplementation of cysteine-rich whey protein isolate leads to improvements in liver biochemistries, increased plasma GSH, total antioxidant capacity and reduced hepatic macrovesicular steatosis in NASH patients. The results support the role of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of this disease.
Context from Dr. Gutman’s comments
NASH (Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis, commonly called ‘Fatty Liver’) is a liver disorder found in patients who are not alcohol abusers. NASH patients are often diagnosed when routine liver function blood tests (LFTs) reveal impaired liver function.
