Effects of Betaine Supplementation and Combined Exercise on Liver Function Improvement in Men with Fatty Liver Disease

The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of Betaine intake and combined exercise on improving liver function in men with reduced liver function due to fatty liver disease, and to use it as a lifestyle guideline for patients with fatty liver disease. am. The study period was a total of 10 weeks, and Betaine intake was 1 tablet twice a day at a certain time. Complex exercise was performed 3 times a week, and the exercise intensity was 50-75% HRmax for aerobic exercise and 50-85% 1RM for resistance exercise. Each was performed for 35 minutes for 70 minutes. The subjects of the study were only men aged 30 to 49 years old with liver function decline that exceeded the standard values for liver function tests AST and ALT. The final selected participants were 24, divided into 12 BEG participants who took Betaine together with the complex exercise provided by the researcher, and 12 OEG participants who performed only the compound exercise without Betaine intake.<br/>Results<br/>Effects on liver function<br/>1. Betaine intake and combined exercise in men with fatty liver disease is effective in improving liver function than combined exercise alone.<br/>1-1. There was a significant difference in liver function (AST, ALT) between the two groups.<br/>1-2. Betaine intake and combined exercise therapy is more effective in improving liver function than combined exercise alone.<br/>Therefore, the effect of combined exercise along with Betaine intake is presented as a lifestyle guideline for improving liver function in men with fatty liver. In order to expand this and quickly improve various lifestyle diseases, it is recommended to combine nutritional support rather than exercise therapy alone.
