FATTY LIVER, METABOLIC SYNDROME, LIVER STEATOSIS
Our results suggested that an 8-week pomegranate peel supplementation along with a 500-calorie deficit diet, resulted in improvement of liver steatosis grade, as well as metabolic syndrome risk factors including weight, body fat index, metabolic biochemistry indices, and blood pressure of NAFLD patients in contrast to placebo. In the following, we will discuss about effects of pomegranate peel (PP) on risk factors of metabolic syndrome (MS) including anti-obesity, anti-glycemic, anti-hypertension, lipid lowering, and fatty liver improvement effects.
