Increasing rates of obesity have risen at an alarming rate. The rate of obesity among adults is around 40%. According to a Harvard study, 1\/3 of all Americans are obese. In 2018, the rate of childhood obesity was almost 20% for ages 2-19. Because of these numbers there are serious health implications.  One being the rising rate of childhood obesity caused by non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/nonalcoholic-fatty-liver-disease\/symptoms-causes\/syc-20354567\">Non-alcoholic fatty live<\/a><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">r<\/span> disease can refer to a wide range of liver diseases including: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Simple fat infiltration <\/li><li>Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, <\/li><li>NASH<\/li><li>Fibrosis <\/li><li>Cirrhosis.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This rise is alarming because 20% of patients who develop NASH will experience cirrhosis and liver failure. As well, patients with NAFLD universally have hepatic insulin resistance, putting them at risk for developing type two diabetes. It&#8217;s wonderful to see that a researcher and assistant professor at the University of Alabama has received a grant to implement a family-based diet as an intervention for fatty liver disease. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But before we talk about this story more, there is a grant available <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grant\/180199\/grants-to-texas-public-school-districts-to-promote-nutrition-and-prevent-childhood-obesity.html\">to promote nutrition and prevent childhood obesity<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grant\/180199\/grants-to-texas-public-school-districts-to-promote-nutrition-and-prevent-childhood-obesity.html\">for Texas Public Schools<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can Fatty Liver Disease Be Treated With Diet?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s the thing, there is actually no pharmacological treatment for hepatic insulin resistance. Hepatic insulin resistance refers to impaired suppression of glucose production by&nbsp;insulin&nbsp;in hepatocytes. Recommendations by the NAFLD for adults and adolescents include limiting highly caloric foods. However, there is research to suggest that moderate carbohydrate restriction helps improve insulin sensitivity (the opposite of insulin resistance). This is where this grant funding comes in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amy Goss PH.D. is an assistant professor at the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.uab.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\">University of Alabama at Birmingham<span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">\u2019s<\/span><\/a>&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.uab.edu\/shp\/nutrition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Department of Nutrition Sciences<\/a>. They have been awarded a grant to explore this disease. The grant was awarded by the National Institute for Health&#8217;s National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where Will the Funding Go? <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The pilot study conducted through the University of Alabama at Birmingham\u2019s\u00a0Department of Nutrition Sciences was the basis for this grant funding. And now this funding will help fund a randomized controlled trial. The trial will examine the impacts of a moderately carbohydrate-restricted diet vs a fat-restricted diet on hepatic lipid content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p> &#8220;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.uab.edu\/news\/research\/item\/11171-carb-restricted-diet-may-result-in-benefits-for-adolescents-with-fatty-liver-disease#:~:text=A%20new%20study%20from%20researchers,in%20adolescents%20with%20non%2Dalcoholic\" target=\"_blank\">Our pilot study<\/a>\u00a0in 23 adolescents with NAFLD suggests that a weight-maintaining, low-glycemic, moderately carbohydrate-restricted diet significantly improved both hepatic steatosis and hepatic insulin sensitivity.&#8221; <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Goss, magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy will assess the results. This will start with a 12-week feeding phase. And followed by a 12-week free-living phase in adolescents who have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. All families involved in this study will receive 12 weeks of groceries. This study will show how diet plays a serious role in treating and preventing the emergence of NAFLD in adolescents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">GrantWatch Is Excited To Hear About This Research Being Conducted <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the kind of research I wish I could write about all day. The impact something like this will have on the health of our population could be impressive. Diet-based interventions could actually increase the number of families who could receive care. Consequently, reducing obesity among both adults and children impacts public health. The healthcare costs associated with obesity-related health issues stand around $150 billion in the United States every year. More and more research like this could help. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Discover\u00a0grants for nutrition\u00a0on grant listing databases such as GrantWatch.com For more information, you can also visit the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/about.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GrantWatch FAQ<\/a>\u00a0page.\u00a0<em>We wish you the best of luck with your grant-seeking!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Obesity and the health implications have become a major focus of concern in the United States.
