What's New
An 8-week walking program was associated with significant improvements in liver enzymes and BMI in children with phenylketonuria and NAFLD.
Detailed Summary
A randomized controlled trial assigned 40 overweight or obese children (ages 9-12) with phenylketonuria and NAFLD to either an 8-week walking program (n=20) or a waitlist control (n=20). The exercise group demonstrated significant improvements in BMI, ALT, AST, ALP, GGT, and triglycerides, while no significant changes were observed in the control group.
