Markers of inflammation decreased, and gut microbiota exhibited increased metagenomic richness (P < .05) following the exercise program.
Improving gut microbiota and reducing inflammation may enhance overall health in NAFLD patients through exercise.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Markers of inflammation including hsCRP, ferritin, and M30 decreased. In parallel, gut microbiota exhibited increased metagenomic richness (P < .05).
Why this rating
The study design involves a controlled intervention with significant results.
