Bacillus coagulans TCI711 Supplementation Improved Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver by Modulating Gut Microbiota: A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Clinical Trial.
Current Developments in Nutrition 2024 March
BACKGROUND: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has become one of the major problems of chronic liver disease worldwide. It not only causes damage to the liver but also engenders chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis. Recent studies have shown that regulating Bacillus coagulans can improve NAFLD.
OBJECTIVES: This trial explores whether B. coagulans TCI711 (BCT) could ameliorate NAFLD.
METHODS: A total of 57 patients with NAFLD were recruited through FibroScan liver fibrosis scanner and divided into placebo ( n = 28) and BCT-supplemented groups ( n = 29). Specifically, 1 BCT probiotic capsule was supplemented daily for 8 wk. Furthermore, the blood, stool, and fatty liver content were then examined.
RESULTS: Parameters evaluated for liver and kidney indicators showed no side effects after supplementing BCT. A significant reduction of 8.7% in the fatty liver was achieved by effectively suppressing the grade of fatty liver as revealed by controlled attenuation parameter. BCT also regulated gut microbiota profiles, with significant increases observed in Bifidobacterium , Eubacterium , Ruminococcaceae , and Sellimonas compared with the baseline.
CONCLUSIONS: BCT may improve NAFLD by regulating gut microbiota, and parameters evaluated for liver and kidney indicate no side effects.
