Normalization of gut microbiota using probiotics or prebiotics is a promising treatment option for NAFLD by reducing gut permeability and bacterial translocation.
Consider incorporating probiotics (like Lactobacillus or Bifidobacterium) and prebiotics (like inulin) to support gut barrier function, which may help reduce liver inflammation in NAFLD.
ModerateSupportsMEDIUM confidence
Thus, normalization of gut microbiota using probiotics or prebiotics is a promising treatment option for NAFLD.
Why this rating
Supported by multiple rodent studies and some human data, but the paper notes inconsistent data regarding general microbiota composition.
