About this trial

To this single-centre randomized controlled comparative study it is planned to enroll 50 patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. All these subjects will receive standard isocaloric diet for 14 days. Subjects of the main group will receive vegetable protein-and-fat cutlet or schnitzel insted of the same amount of standard (animal meat based) cutlet or schnitzel. Subjects of the control group will receive standard diet, with cutlets or schnitzels made of animal meat. It is planned to make repeated measurements of serum lipid profile and assess general well-being and tolerability of newly developed product compared to regular meal

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Specialized food - Plant-Based Meat Analog

    Other intervention

    Experimental group receives specialized food made of plant-based (soy) meat analog. A portion of standard (animal) meat in a daily ration of the enrolled subjects is substituted by plant-based analog.

  • standard isocalorie diet

    Other intervention

    Isocalorie (based on resting energy expenditures measurements) diet is provided to subjects of the control group with no modification of the protein and fat content

Treatment groups

50 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: plant-based meat analogExperimental treatment 1 intervention
Group B: Control - standard iso-calorie dietPlacebo comparator 1 intervention
