Improvement in Hepatic Function Through Sumac (Rhus Coriaria L.) Supplement Along With a Calorie-restricted Diet for the Management of Grade-I Obese Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Patients

This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effects of Rhus coriaria L. (Sumac) supplementation combined with a calorie-restricted diet on hepatic function and metabolic health in grade-I obese patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). A total of 102 participants aged 30-60 years with confirmed NAFLD will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: placebo, 1.5 g/day Sumac supplementation, or 3.0 g/day Sumac supplementation for 12 weeks. Outcomes will include changes in liver function tests (ALT, AST, and ALP), anthropometric measurements, glycemic control, insulin resistance, lipid profile, and inflammatory biomarkers. The study aims to determine whether Sumac supplementation provides additional benefits beyond calorie restriction alone in improving hepatic health and metabolic risk factors associated with NAFLD.

Therapeutic Effects of Cinnamon-Enriched Cookies on Hypercholesterolemia and Liver Function

Cinnamon-enriched cookies were developed and evaluated for their sensory acceptability and potential as a functional food for adults with hyperlipidemia. The findings suggest that incorporating cinnamon into cookies alongside conventional therapy may support cardiovascular and liver health while offering a palatable dietary intervention.

Hepatoprotective Effects of Reishi Mushroom- (Ganoderma Lucidum) Among Metabolic Dysfunction-associated Fatty Liver Disease Patients

This 12-week RCT investigates the hepatoprotective and immunomodulatory effects of Ganoderma lucidum combined with a probiotic-rich diet in adults with MAFLD, assessing liver enzymes, lipid profile, inflammation, gut microbiota, and oxidative stress. Findings are expected to show dose-dependent improvements in hepatic fat, insulin resistance, and inflammatory markers, potentially reducing reliance on pharmacotherapy in

Liver Affection in Pregnant Women at Sohag University Hospital

This study investigates the prevalence, causes, and clinical outcomes of liver disorders among pregnant women attending Sohag University Hospital. It aims to identify the most common hepatic conditions occurring during pregnancy, evaluate their impact on maternal and fetal health, and assess the effectiveness of current diagnostic and management approaches. By analyzing clinical data, laboratory findings, and pregnancy outcomes, the study highlights the importance of early detection and proper management of liver diseases to reduce associated complications and improve overall maternal-fetal prognosis.
