Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

Metformin is being compared to exercise and diet modifications. The researchers are interested in learning if the addition of metformin to lifestyle modifications is more helpful in treating the condition or disorder. Although metformin is FDA approved to treat type 2 diabetes, it is not FDA approved for the treatment of Non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFLD) and is considered investigational for the purpose of this study.
