The diagnosis of NAFLD is made according to the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) criteria (Chalasaniet al.2017) defined as complying following a) There is hepatic steatosis by imaging or histology b) There is no significant alcohol consumption c) There are no competing etiologies for hepatic steatosis d) There are no co-existing causes for chronic liver disease e) With or without deranged liver function tests, defined as serum Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) or Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) levels more than 1.5 times the upper limit of normal values. 3. Participant’s demonstration of understanding of study requirements and treatment procedures, and willingness to comply with all protocol required evaluations.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Presence of alternative causes of fatty liver including heavy consumption of alcohol 2. Weight loss greater than 10 percent in the 6 months before the screening visit 3. HbA1c greater than 6.5 percent and fasting blood glucose greater than 125 mg per dL 4. Use of drugs associated with ALD or NAFLD for more than 12 consecutive weeks in the 1 year before the start of the study, including amiodarone, tamoxifen, methotrexate, systemic glucocorticoids, anabolic steroids, tetracycline, estrogens in doses higher than used in oral contraceptives, valproate, chloroquine, or antiretroviral drugs 5.

History of other chronic liver diseases (Viral hepatitis B or C, autoimmune hepatitis, cholestatic and metabolic liver diseases) and hemochromatosis 7. Participant has known cirrhosis (compensated or decompensated) either based on clinical criteria or liver histology or Imaging techniques 8. Participants with unstable cardiovascular disease including, unstable angina, (that is new or worsening symptoms of coronary heart disease within the past 3 months), acute coronary syndrome within the past 6 months, acute myocardial infarction in the past 3 months or heart failure of New York Heart Association class (III IV) or worsening congestive heart failure, or coronary artery intervention, within the past 6 months, uncontrolled hypertension (systolic BP greater than 180 mmHg and or diastolic BP greater than 110 mmHg on two consecutive occasions), stroke or transient ischemic attack within the prior 6 months. 9. History of myopathies or evidence of active muscle disease. 10. History of malignancy in the past 5 years and or active neoplasm. 11.
