Combination of CXD and Restrictive Ketogenic Diet Against MASLD

Официальное название

Clinical Trial Study on the Combination of CXD and Restrictive Ketogenic Diet in Treating MASLD

Обзор

This study employed a single-center, randomized, investigator-blind, three-group parallel, stepwise controlled clinical trial. A total of 135 subjects were randomly assigned to receive either a low-carbohydrate diet intervention, a restrictive ketogenic diet intervention, or a decoction preparation of the Tucha Lipid-Reducing Formula combined with a restrictive ketogenic diet. The trial duration consisted of 8 weeks of treatment followed by 8 weeks of follow-up. During the trial, participants adhered to dietary calorie control and moderate exercise as instructed in health education, self-reported their height, weight, waist-to-hip ratio, and other general parameters, and had weekly blood ketone level monitoring. Liver ultrasound, fasting blood glucose, lipid profiles, blood ketones, liver function tests, serum creatinine, urea nitrogen levels, and scores on the Traditional Chinese Medicine Syndrome Scale were measured before treatment initiation and at the end of the 8-week treatment period.

Вмешательства

• Пищевая добавка Low-carbon control group
  The control group received a standardized low-carbohydrate diet (carbohydrates accounted for 25%-30% of total caloric intake).
• Пищевая добавка KD group
  Daily carbohydrate intake should not exceed 5%, with three consecutive ketogenic days per week implemented (selected according to the subject's preference).
• Препарат CXD and KD group
  In addition to a restrictive ketogenic diet intervention, the patients were administered a traditional Chinese medicine compound formula named Chazhu Xiaoli Formula for lipid reduction. Below is the composition of Chazhu Xiaozhi decoction: Camellia Sinensis Radix 15g, Atractylodis Rhizoma 15g, Herba Gynostemmatis Pentaphylli 15g, Ilicis Cornutae Folium 15g, Alismatis Rhizoma 9g, Nelumbinis Folium 6g, Crataegi Fructus 6g, Polygoni Orientalis Fructus 3g.
