Brief summary (registry, in English)

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a liver disease characterized by an abnormal accumulation of fat not due to alcohol or drug consumption that can evolve into steatohepatitis (NASH), fibrosis and cirrhosis. Its prevalence is high, affecting approximately 20-30% of the general adult population and is also growing in pediatric age. Obesity, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) are common and well-known risk factors for NAFLD, which is approximately 2-3 times more prevalent among obese and diabetic individuals. Despite the high and increasing prevalence of NAFLD in the population, its pathophysiology is not fully understood and there is currently no pharmacological treatment available. Recent evidence suggests that dietary polyphenols may have specific beneficial effects on hepatic steatosis and associated sequelae by polyphenol metabolites and their phase II derivatives. Therefore, the aim of our study is to evaluate whether medium-term consumption of a beverage rich in polyphenols extracted from red grape pomace is able to exert beneficial effects on hepatic steatosis, cardiometabolic risk profile and microbiota composition of patients with type 2 diabetes.
