Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

Abstract Objectives Fructose as a source of excess calories increases non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) markers. Whether this effect is mediated by the food matrix is unknown. We thus conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of controlled feeding trials assessing the effect of important food sources of fructose-containing sugars at different energy control levels on NAFLD markers. Methods MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Library were searched through January 18, 2021 for controlled trials ≥7-days. Four trial designs were prespecified based on energy control: substitution (energy-matched replacement of sugars by other macronutrients); addition (excess energy from sugars added to diets); subtraction (energy from sugars subtracted from diets); and ad libitum (energy from sugars freely replaced by other macronutrients). The primary outcome was intrahepatocellular lipid (IHCL). Secondary outcomes were alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST). Independent reviewers extracted data and assessed risk of bias. Certainty of evidence was assessed by GRADE. Results We included 44 trials (65 trial comparisons, n = 1941) assessing the effect of 8 food sources (sugar-sweetened beverages [SSBs]; sweetened dairy alternative [soy]; fruit juice; fruit; dried fruit; baked goods, desserts and sweets; added nutritive sweetener; and mixed sources) across 4 energy levels. Total fructose-containing sugars increased IHCL in addition trials (standardized mean difference = 1.69 [95% CI, 1.00–2.37], P < 0.001), but no effect in substitution, subtraction and ad libitum trials. There was evidence of interaction by food source in addition trials with SSBs increasing IHCL and ALT, and mixed sources increasing AST. The overall certainty of evidence was high for SSBs on IHCL and ALT in addition trials and high to very low for all other comparisons. Conclusions Energy control and food source appear to mediate the effect of fructose-containing sugars on NAFLD markers. High certainty evidence suggests that SSBs providing excess energy increase NAFLD markers, while the evidence is less certain that mixed sources share the same effect and other food sources do not. More high-quality randomized trials of different food sources are needed to improve our estimates (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier, NCT02716870). Funding Sources Primary funding: Diabetes Canada.

Abstract Objectives Sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) have been linked to weight gain, and it is unclear if other food sources of fructose-containing sugars behave similarily. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of controlled feeding trials to assess the effect of different food sources of fructose-containing sugars on body weight. Methods MEDLINE, EMBASE, and The Cochrane library were searched through January 2019. We included controlled feeding trials of ≥2 weeks investigating the effect of different food sources of sugars. Four levels of energy control were prespecified: substitution (energy-matched comparisons); addition (energy from sugars added to diet); subtraction (energy from sugars subtracted from diet); or ad libitum (energy from sugars freely replaced). The primary outcome was body weight. Two independent reviewers extracted data and assessed risk of bias. Data were pooled using random effects models and expressed as mean differences (MDs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). GRADE assessed the certainty of evidence. Results We identified 110 controlled trials (N = 5133) assessing the effect of 7 different food sources of fructose-containing sugars (SSBs, fruit, fruit juice, dried fruit; baked goods, sweets, & desserts; mixed sources; added caloric sweeteners). No effect on body weight was observed in substitution trials, whereas there was an increasing effect in addition trials (MD, 0.23 kg [95% CI, 0.06 to 0.40]) and ad libitum trials (1.43 kg [0.78 to 2.16]), and a decreasing effect in subtraction trials (–0.52 kg [–1.02 to −0.02]). There was evidence of interaction by food source with fruit showing weight loss in substitution trials and SSBs showing weight gain in addition trials. The certainty of evidence was moderate for the effects in the addition and subtraction trials and high for the effects in the substitution and ad libitum trials. Conclusions Energy control and food source appear to mediate the effect of fructose-containing sugars on body weight. Food sources of fructose-containing sugars adding excess energy to diets (especially sugars-sweetened beverages) appear to lead to weight gain. There is low to moderate likelihood that more research will substantially alter our estimates (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier, NCT02558920) Funding Sources American Society for Nutrition Foundation (commissioned and funded), Diabetes Canada.

Postprandial Lipids

Abstract Objectives Fructose providing excess calories has been shown to increase postprandial triglycerides (TAG). Whether this effect holds for different food sources of fructose-containing sugars is unclear. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of controlled feeding trials on the effect of different food sources of fructose-containing sugars at different levels of energy control on postprandial blood lipids (NCT02716870). Methods MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library were searched through June 1st, 2020 for controlled feeding trials ≥7-days assessing the effect of food sources of fructose-containing sugars on postprandial lipids. Trial designs were prespecified based on energy control: substitution (energy matched replacement of sugars by other macronutrients); addition (excess energy from sugars added to diets); subtraction (energy from sugars subtracted from diets); and ad libitum (energy from sugars freely replaced by other macronutrients) trials. Independent reviewers extracted data and assessed risk of bias. Outcomes were postprandial TAG and apoB48. Certainty of evidence was assessed using GRADE. Results We included 29 trials (60 trial comparisons, N = 943) assessing 5 food sources (SSBs, fruit, sweets and desserts, added caloric sweetener and mixed sources) across 4 levels of energy control. Total fructose-containing sugars increased postprandial TAG in substitution (MD: 0.17 mmol/L [95% CI: 0.05, 0.30], P = 0.007), addition (0.38 mmol/L [0.13, 0.62], P = 0.003), and ad libitum (0.17 mmol/L [0.02, 0.31], P = 0.024) trials and increased apoB48 in addition trials (0.12 g/L [0.07, 0.18], P < 0.001).There was evidence of interaction by food source with SSBs increasing postprandial TAG and apoB48 in addition trials and mixed sources increasing postprandial TAG in ad libitum trials. The certainty of the evidence was “moderate” for SSBs increasing TAG in addition trials and mixed sources increasing TAG in ad libitum trials and “low” for all other comparisons. Conclusions Food source more than energy control appears to mediate fructose-containing sugars on postprandial lipids. Good evidence suggests that SSBs and mixed sources increase postprandial lipids while evidence is less certain for the lack of effect of other food sources. More high-quality trials of different food sources are needed. Funding Sources Primary: Diabetes Canada.

(1) Background: FibroTest™ is a multi-marker panel, suggested by guidelines as one of the surrogate markers with acceptable performance for detecting fibrosis in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). A number of studies evaluating this test have been published after publication of the guidelines. This study aims to produce summary estimates of FibroTest™ diagnostic accuracy. (2) Methods: Five databases were searched for studies that evaluated FibroTest™ against liver biopsy as the reference standard in NAFLD patients. Two authors independently screened the references, extracted data, and assessed the quality of included studies. Meta-analyses of the accuracy in detecting different levels of fibrosis were performed using the bivariate random-effects model and the linear mixed-effects multiple thresholds model. (3) Results: From ten included studies, seven were eligible for inclusion in our meta-analysis. Five studies were included in the meta-analysis of FibroTest™ in detecting advanced fibrosis and five in significant fibrosis, resulting in an AUC of 0.77 for both target conditions. The meta-analysis of three studies resulted in an AUC of 0.69 in detecting any fibrosis, while analysis of three other studies showed higher accuracy in cirrhosis (AUC: 0.92). (4) Conclusions: Our meta-analysis showed acceptable performance (AUC > 0.80) of FibroTest™ only in detecting cirrhosis. We observed more limited performance of the test in detecting significant and advanced fibrosis in NAFLD patients. Further primary studies with high methodological quality are required to validate the reliability of the test for detecting different fibrosis levels and to compare the performance of the test in different settings.
