Treatment of fatty liver is the key to campaign
In developed countries, NAFLD is the most common form of chronic liver disease. The metabolic syndrome generally include: obesity, insulin resistance and type Ⅱ diabetes, and is accompanied by elevated transaminase. For the treatment of NAFLD, in addition to essential medicines, doctors usually encourage patients to take regular exercise and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, by changing eating habits to lose weight. But all along, the role of movement of the disease have not been test proven.
Sydney, Australia, Western Hospital, Jacob George and his colleagues on the hospital treated in 141 patients with NAFLD were studied. They will exercise intensity by patients were divided into control group, low-intensity exercise group, medium-intensity exercise group and the intervention group four groups. Walking is one of the most important kind of training methods, the researchers encourage, inter alia the control group of patients achieved at least a week to walk 150 minutes.
The researchers found that three months later, the physical intervention group patients compared with control group generally increased several times. Maintain a positive exercise, exercise time more than 150 minutes per week of moderate intensity exercise in patients with metabolic syndrome indicators of transaminase in vivo conditions also appeared improved. Interestingly, the weekly exercise time is only 60 minutes of low-intensity exercise group patients in the various indicators of patients with more movement there is no more difference. In addition to more effective weight loss exercise, the right ALT or glucose parameters were not significant.
The researchers said there was still not clear the reason, this phenomenon may be relevant to transaminase indicators “threshold” of a low-related, if only to increase exercise-related indicators will change. But the trials of those little movement or even a daily sitting and lying-based control group patients, even though the same is the case of weight loss, metabolic parameters and no signs of improvement, and some even worse.
The researchers said it may be because patients lose weight through exercise and more activity in vivo insulin. Exercise can increase muscle levels of unsaturated fatty acids, and thus alleviate the symptoms of insulin resistance, this effect is difficult to means other than through the exercise to be copied. Experiment proved that a simple movement can make the right amount of physical fitness and health status of patients effectively improved, while not necessarily a planned high-intensity exercise.
