Effects of taking milk thistle and aerobic exercise to improve fatty liver in adult men on liver function enzymes

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of milk thistle supplementation as a nutritional intervention during aerobic exercise on liver function enzymes in adult men with impaired liver function due to fatty liver disease. This research aims to provide foundational data for healthy lifestyle guidelines for the treatment and prevention of liver disease, especially for men who are at a relatively higher risk of liver disorders.<br/>[Results]<br/>1. The liver function enzyme AST decreased post-test compared to pre-test in both IAG ( p<.001***) and NAG ( p<.01**) groups, showing a significant level of change.<br/>2. ALT also decreased post-test compared to pre-test in both IAG ( p<.001***) and NAG ( p<.01**) groups, showing a significant level of change.<br/>3. The difference in the liver function enzyme AST was found to be homogeneous as there was no significant difference in the pretest between the two groups ( p>.05), and a significant difference was found in the post test to establish heterogeneity ( p<.001***).<br/>4. difference in ALT, no significant difference was found between the two groups in the pretest, so homogeneity was found to be established ( p>.05), and a significant difference was found in the posttest, indicating that heterogeneity was established ( p<.05*).
