Ca(2+) — decreases alanine aminotransferase
Evidence strength: very limited.Finding“The calcium plus calcitriol group showed a significant decrease in ALT and FPG and increase in HDL.C level compared with the calcitriol group, adjusted to the baseline measures (p < 0.001).”
Quoted verbatim from Effect of daily calcitriol supplementation with and without calcium on disease regression in non-alcoholic fatty liver patients following an energy-restricted diet: Randomized, controlled, double-blind trial.. - Study
- RCT
- Duration
- 3 months
- Dose
- 500 mg calcium carbonate daily with lunch, on top of 25 ug calcitriol daily given in both arms
- Population
- Patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease following an energy-restricted weight-loss programme; calcium carbonate 500 mg plus calcitriol 25 ug daily versus calcitriol 25 ug daily alone, 12 weeks
