Four-week omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids supplementation for liver left lateral section volume reduction in individuals with morbid obesity undergoing bariatric surgery: A double blind, multicenter, randomized placebo-controlled trial.

Description

Liver steatosis in morbidly obese individuals undergoing bariatric surgery increases liver volume and may complicate the surgical procedure. This study aimed to assess whether a 4-week supplementation with omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) is effective in reducing liver left lateral section (LLLS) volume.
