Introduction: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common liver disease in the world, representing the hepatic component of metabolic syndrome, and currently affects an average of 20–33% of the adult population. Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a severe form of NAFLD and is a consequence of overweight, obesity, and metabolic syndrome.
Objective:The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the use of freeze-dried mare's milk in NASH.
Methods: Clinical-biochemical, ultrasound, and fibroelastometric research methods were used in NASH patients receiving mare's milk in comparison with the control groups.
Results: The result of the study demonstrates noticeable gain not only in the clinical symptoms of the disease but also in the laboratory and instrumental indicators, as well as health improvement and a decrease in symptoms of concomitant pathology.
Taking mare's milk not only normalized liver biochemical parameters but also decreased cholesterol metabolism (total cholesterol, LDL, TG), the degree of liver steatosis, and existing hepatomegaly declined too. This pleiotropic effect of mare's milk points to the pathogenetic feasibility for the use of Saumal in NAFLD, including NASH.
Conclusions: Addressing the problems of healthy nutrition in NASH, mare's milk can be considered as a pathogenetically justified, highly effective, and affordable natural therapeutic and prophylactic agent. The value of the product is determined by its multicomponent balanced qualitative composition. Hepatoprotective, hypocholesterolemic, and lipotropic properties of mare's milk in this pathology are marked.
