NAFLD-related SNPs are linked to changes in liver fat, measured by CAP score, and serum lipids in response to a 3-week sugar sweetened beverage intervention: A pilot study

Key Points

• This research examines the relationship between genetic variants linked to NAFLD and changes in liver fat and serum lipids due to a sugar sweetened beverage intervention.
• Participants consumed sugar sweetened beverages for three weeks.
• Liver fat was measured using CAP score before and after the intervention.
• Serum lipid levels were assessed to evaluate changes in response to the intervention.
• Increased liver fat measured by CAP score was observed after the SSB intervention.
• Changes in serum lipid levels were noted following increased SSB consumption.
• SNPs associated with NAFLD showed a correlation with the changes in liver fat and serum lipids.
