The effect of 12 weeks of combined training on hepatic fat content and metabolic flexibility of individuals with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: Protocol of an open-label, single-center randomized control trial

IntroductionMetabolic flexibility (MetF) is the capacity of an organism to oxidate substrate according to substrate availability or demand. The mismatch of substrate availability and oxidation may cause ectopic fat accumulation in the muscle and the liver. The objectives of the study are to examine...

description IntroductionMetabolic flexibility (MetF) is the capacity of an organism to oxidate substrate according to substrate availability or demand. The mismatch of substrate availability and oxidation may cause ectopic fat accumulation in the muscle and the liver. The objectives of the study are to examine the effect of 12 weeks of combined exercise on hepatic fat reduction and investigate metabolites related to MetF before and after the high-fat diet between individuals with NAFLD and healthy control with an active lifestyle.MethodsThis study is an open-label, single-center trial randomized controlled clinical study plus a cross-sectional comparison between individuals with NAFLD and healthy control. Individuals with NAFLD were allocated into two groups receiving resistance training (RT) combined with high-intensity interval training (HIIT) or moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT). Anthropometric indicators, clinical blood markers about glucose, lipid metabolism, and hepatic fat content (HFC) were assessed before and after the intervention. The metabolomics was also used to investigate the discrepant metabolites and mechanisms related to MetF.DiscussionMetabolic flexibility reflects the capacity of an organism to switch the oxidation substrates flexibly, which is associated with ectopic fat accumulation. Our study aimed to explore the discrepant metabolites related to MetF before and after a high-fat diet between individuals with NAFLD and healthy control. In addition, the study also examined the effectiveness of RT combined with HIIT or MICT on hepatic fat reduction and quantificationally analyzed the metabolites related to MetF before and after the intervention. Our results provided a perspective on fatty liver-associated metabolic inactivity.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov: ChiCTR2200055110; Registered 31 December 2021, http://www.chictr.org.cn/index.aspx.
