Abstract

See full text

There is a need to develop a treatment for metabolic syndrome, which is directed to maintaining healthy liver metabolism and not indirectly through weight loss. The present invention provides a composition comprising whey protein for supporting and improving liver metabolism, especially in connection with fatty liver. The composition can further comprise Ca and health improving components such as probiotics and prebiotics. The composition can be in the form of food, health food, food supplement or drugs. Furthermore, due to the complexity of choice of a valid biomarker and sample matrix, there is a special need to find out specific biomarkers for fatty liver and metabolic syndrome. This invention also relates to a diagnostic method for determining fatty liver on the basis of metabolomic profiling. Statistical modelling methods are used on the metabolomic profiles to identify the biomarkers.
