Study Data from Islamic Azad University Update Understanding of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (Effect of Resistance Training on Hepatic Bile Acid, beta-Klotho Protein and Expression of Farnesoid X Receptor, Fibroblast Growth Factor 15 and...).

A study conducted at Islamic Azad University explored the impact of resistance training on hepatic bile acid, beta-klotho protein, and gene expression in male rats with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The research found that after eight weeks of resistance training, hepatic bile acid decreased significantly, while beta-klotho protein levels and the expression of certain genes related to cholesterol metabolism increased. The study suggests that resistance training may positively affect the signaling pathway involved in regulating bile acid biosynthesis and improving cholesterol metabolism in the body, potentially offering benefits for individuals with NAFLD.
