Effect of Intermittent Fasting on Correction of Blood Lipids,Liver Function and Body Weight in Patients with Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
Objective To investigate the clinical effect of intermittent fasting on correcting nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.Methods A total of 160 patients who were diagnosed as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease through physical examination by the gastroenterology department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University were selected as the research subjects.They were randomly divided into two groups.The observation group used intermittent fasting method,and completed 12 weeks of experiment,while the control group ate normally.The blood lipid,liver function,and body weight of patients before and after intervention were compared after 12 weeks,and adverse effects were observed.Results Before the intervention,there were no differences in blood lipid,liver function and body weight between the control group and the observation group(P>0.05).After the intervention,patients in the observation group had better triglycerides,total cholesterol,glutamic-pyruvic transaminase,glutamic-oxalacetic transaminase,total bilirubin,body weight and body weight index than those in the control group(P<0.05).Seven patients in the observation group experienced palpitation.Conclusion Intermittent fasting has obvious efficacy in correcting blood lipids,liver function and body weight in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease,and there are no obvious adverse reactions,which is worthy of further clinical promotion and application.
