An energy-restricted high-protein diet supplemented with β-cryptoxanthin alleviated oxidative stress and inflammation in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease: a randomized controlled trial

The efficacy of β-cryptoxanthin (BCX), a high-protein diet (HPD), or both in reducing oxidative stress and inflammation in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has never been examined within a randomized controlled trial (RCT). Thus, we aimed to assess the efficacy of an energy-restricted HPD supplemented with BCX in alleviating these conditions in NAFLD in an RCT design. We hypothesized that this combination may improve oxidative stress and...
