Protective Role of Probiotic Supplements in Hepatic Steatosis: A Rat Model Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Treating nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is considered one of the public health priorities in the past decade. So far, probiotics have represented promising results in controlling the signs and symptoms of NAFLD. However, attempts to find the ideal probiotic strain are still ongoing.
