Highlights:
-Using liver biopsies, researchers found that after 96 weeks of treatment, 58 percent of the children on vitamin E no longer had NASH, compared to 41 percent of the children on metformin (a diabetes drug), and 28 percent on placebo. Vitamin E was better than placebo because it significantly reduced enlargement and death of liver cells.
– The children received either 500 milligrams of metformin or 400 international units of a natural form of vitamin E or placebo twice a day for two years.
