Placebo-controlled, randomised clinical trial: high-dose resveratrol treatment for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
ABSTRACT Objective “ The obesity epidemic ” has led to an increase in obesity-related conditions including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease ( NAFLD ) , for which effective treatments are in dem and . The polyphenol resveratrol prevents the development of experimental NAFLD through modulation of cellular pathways involved in calorie restriction . We aim ed to test the hypothesis that resveratrol alleviates NAFLD in a r and omised , clinical trial . Material s and methods A total of 28 overweight patients with transaminasemia and histological NAFLD were r and omised 1:1 to placebo or resveratrol 1.5 g daily for 6 months . Twenty-six participants completed the trial and underwent repeated clinical investigation , blood work , MR spectroscopy ; and 19 participants agreed to a repeat liver biopsy . Results Resveratrol treatment was generally not superior to placebo in improving plasma markers of liver injury ( primary outcome : alanine transaminase , p = 0.51 ) . Resveratrol-treated patients showed a 3.8 % decrease in liver lipid content ( p = 0.03 ) , with no difference between the two treatment arms ( p = 0.38 ) and no improvement of histological features .  Resveratrol treatment was not associated with improvements in insulin sensitivity or markers of the metabolic syndrome , except for a transient decrease in systolic BP . Microarray analysis and qRT-PCR revealed no major changes in expression profile . Also , we report a serious adverse event in a patient who developed fever and bicytopenia . Conclusions In this placebo-controlled , high-dose and long-term study , resveratrol treatment had no consistent therapeutic effect in alleviating clinical or histological NAFLD , though there may be a small ameliorating effect on liver function tests and liver fat accumulation
