Associations between dietary fatty acid and plasma fatty acid composition in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: secondary analysis from a randomised trial with a hypoenergetic low-carbohydrate high-fat and intermittent fasting diet.

ABSTRACT: Dietary fatty acids (FA) affect metabolic risk factors. The aim of this study was to explore if changes in dietary fat intake during energy restriction were associated with plasma FA composition. The study also investigated if these changes were associated with changes in liver fat, liver stiffness and plasma lipids among persons with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Dietary and plasma FA were investigated in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (n 48) previously enrolled in a 12-week-long open-label randomised controlled trial comparing two energy-restricted diets: a low-carbohydrate high-fat diet and intermittent fasting diet (5:2), to a control group. Self-reported 3 d food diaries were used for FA intake, and plasma FA composition was analysed using GC. Liver fat co
