Previous studies have suggested that steady weight loss over time will result in improvement in aminotransferases, and more importantly, underlying histopathology in patients with NASH. A total of 50 biopsy-proven NASH patients will be enrolled in a prospective, randomized fashion. Twenty-five patients have been enrolled at the primary study site at Saint Louis University. Recruitment of the next 25 patients is taking place at a study subsite at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas.
