An increase in the biosynthesis of fatty acids is associated with the onset of Non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFL).
A fatty liver is a liver condition associated with the accumulation of excess fat in the liver.
Non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) is the early stage of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) caused by the accumulation of fat in the liver, other than excessive use of alcohol.
Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a type of inflammatory non-alcoholic fatty liver disease caused by excessive fat accumulated in the liver.
Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is asymptomatic until the condition is developed into cirrhosis, the condition that causes advanced liver scars and reduced the performance of the liver.
In other words, if more than 5% – 10% percent of your liver’s weight is fat, you have a fatty liver (steatosis).
According to the statistics, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most common causes of liver disease affecting 100 million people in the US. Out of that number, approximately 20% of people have NASH.
Medical conditions such as obesity, metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes are some of the metabolic risk factors that have been found to induce the development of NASH.
As of today, there is no effective treatment of NASH. Depending on the condition people with overweight or obese are recommended to lose weight. The aim of medical treatment is to reduce the symptoms and delay the progression of the condition and improve the quality of life.
Collard Green is a species of Brassica Oleracea, belongings to the family Brassicaceae with unknown origin. Today, the plant is cultivated commercially for its thick, slightly bitter edible leaves.
On findings a potential compound for the modulation of liver fatty acid, researchers examined the effects of diets containing 4% collard greens, purslane or sweet potato greens on the liver fatty acid profiles of four-week-old male spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) for 4 weeks.
Based on the tested assays, SHRs received the control diet had greater percentages of liver saturated fatty acid and less omega-3 fatty acid percentages.
Moreover, the SHRs that consume the control diet also had significantly greater percentages of oleic; significantly less γ-linolenic and docosahexaenoic acids.
However, SHRs that received the diets containing vegetables had significantly greater liver concentrations of γ- linolenic, docosahexaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids, as well as lower levels of lauric, palmitic and arachidonic acids.
In other words, 4% collard greens, purslane or sweet potato greens showed a strong effect in reducing the risk of fatty liver in hypertensive rats (SHRs) after 4 weeks of consumption by improving the liver profile parameters.
Taken altogether, collard green may be considered supplements for the prevention and treatment of liver disease associated with the expression of liver fatty acid, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
