Systematic review on the impact of resistance training in patients with #MASLD. Resistance training has better adherence than aerobic training and resulted in a significant reduction in liver fat, liver enzymes, and insulin resistance.

Thanks @ebtapper
A challenging but important study given so many patients pre-Tx can’t eat (anywhere near) enough!
Also demonstrated continued gains in HGS 💪 and anthropometry with increasing duration of NG feeds until ~4mth (by which time most pt were transplanted)
@ebtapper I would add....in combination with improvements in dietary intake. We are seeing so many patients who stop alcohol but have no advice regarding dietary improvements and remain decompensated. The full potential for clinical improvements are not reached without Nutrition.
Would be nice to see this archaic advice done away it. So much confusion when its comes to dietary advice from the dark ages

@bc_diet Absolutely!! We are seeing so many patients recompensate their liver disease due to improvements in nutritional status and meal pattern. Sitting on a wealth of data and would love to get some of it published! Great to see someone flying the flag for Dietetics 💪
Amazing and exciting work @bc_diet !!!!!! This proves what we are seeing constantly with our patient's. We are also seeing similar improvements in engaged patients with food first strategies! https://t.co/pNVLdNg18N
