Conclusion This meta- analysis supports the potential use of microbial therapies in the treatment of NAFLD and sheds light on their potential mode of action .
Context Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease ( NAFLD ) is a highly prevalent and underdiagnosed comorbidity of many chronic diseases that is associated with altered intestinal bacterial communities .
This association has prompted research into alternative treatments aim ed at modulating intestinal microbiota .
Given the novelty of these treatments , scarce evidence regarding their effectiveness in clinical population s exists .
Objective This meta- analysis sought to systemically review and quantitatively synthesize evidence on prebiotic , probiotic , and synbiotic therapies for patients with NAFLD in r and omized controlled trials .
Effects of traditional homemade koumiss on some hematological and biochemical characteristics in sedentary men exposed to exercise
Abstract We evaluated the effects of koumiss on some hematological and biochemical characteristics of persons who exercise . Eighteen sedentary males were assigned to three equal groups : koumiss ( K ) , koumiss + exercise ( KE ) and exercise alone ( E ) . Leukocytes ( WBC ) , differential leucocyte count , erythrocytes ( RBC ) , hemoglobin ( HGB ) , hematocrit ( HCT ) , platelet ( PLT ) , glucose , total cholesterol , triglycerides , high density lipoprotein ( HDL ) , aspartate aminotransferase ( AST ) and alanine aminotransferase ( ALT ) were assessed In blood sample s. By the end of the study , triglycerides ( TG ) and cholesterol levels tended to decrease in all groups , but the decrease was significant only at day 15 for the KE group . HDL tended to be increased in all groups at day 15 , but the increase was significant only in the KE group . We found that koumiss had beneficial effects on some hematological and biochemical characteristics
