Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease, the HEpatic Response to Oral Glucose, and the Effect of Semaglutide (NAFLD HEROES)
Testing how the liver responds to glucose in fatty liver disease, and semaglutide’s effect
📍 National Institutes of Health Clinical Center · Bethesda, MD · Get directions →
Background: In non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), fat accumulates in the liver and can cause damage. Researchers want to learn what causes the damage NAFLD, and to see if a medication can help.

Randomized Double Blinded Placebo-Controlled w/Semaglutide to Prevent Weight Gain After Liver Transplant
Testing whether semaglutide can prevent weight gain after liver transplant
📍 Virginia Commonwealth University · Richmond, VA · Get directions →
In this study, semaglutide will be compared to placebo (a look-alike inactive substance, a "sugar pill") to determine if its use will prevent weight gain after liver transplantation (LT). In addition, researchers will be testing to determine if semaglutide prevents the development of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) after transplant through Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and laboratory results.
