Effect of Policaptil Gel Retard on Liver Fat Content and Fibrosis in Adults with Metabolic Syndrome and Type 2 Diabetes: A Non-invasive Approach to MAFLD
ConclusionsThe effect of PGR is related to a reduction in the post-meal blood glucose and insulin peaks. As glucose absorption (GA) directly regulates pancreatic insulin release, the attenuated insulin response is likely due to delayed GA with decreased body weight, visceral fat, and cardiovascular risk. Also, an effect on the intestinal microbiota, already documented in the animal model, cannot be excluded, especially considering the reported PGR-related shift from the Firmicutes, notoriously responsible for increased lipid gut absorption, to theBacteroides phylum.
