Abstract

Authors´conclusions: probiotics could be beneficial in pediatric non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Specifically, Lactobacillus acidophillus in combination with other strains of Bifidobacterium or Lactobacillus seem to reduce liver transaminases and improve anthropometric and cholesterol and triglycerides parameters when combined with lifestyle modifications.

Reviewers´commentary: treatment with probiotics may provide an additional benefit to the usual hygienic-dietary treatment by decreasing liver inflammation and possibly improving steatosis in a prevalent disease without other pharmacological treatment options.
