Cross-sectional study of 60 patients, 30 NAFLD patients versus 30 controls
Lactobacillus and selected members of phylum Firmicutes (Dorea, Robinsoniella, and Roseburia) were higher in NAFLD patients; Oscillibacter was underrepresented
In-patient study of 15 female subjects placed on well-controlled diets in which choline levels were manipulated
Variations between levels of Gammaproteobacteria and Erysipelotrichiwere directly associated with changes in liver fat in each subject during choline depletion
Randomized controlled trial of 66 patients with NAFLD-34 supplemented with Bifidobacterium longum with fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and lifestyle modification versus 32 lifestyle modifications alone
Bifidobacterium longum with FOS and lifestyle modification significantly reduces endotoxin, hepatic steatosis, and NASH activity index
