Conditions: fatty liver disease
Interventions: Active drug = moxonidine capsules 0.2mg once daily for 2 weeks, then up titration to 0.2mg twice daily for 3 months
Outcome Measures: 5% post baseline change in MRI assessed fat quantification in the liver Timepoint [1] 3 months post baseline Primary outcome [2] HOMA index difference between the groups of 20% Timepoint [2] 3 months postbaseline Secondary outcome [1] Difference in muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) between the groups assessed using microneurography technique. Timepoint [1] 3 months post baseline Secondary outcome [2] 30% change in Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) between the groups assessed via pathology assay Timepoint [2] 3 months post baseline Secondary outcome [3] Changes in liver stiffness measured via fibroscan. Timepoint [3] 3 months post baseline Secondary outcome [4] Changes in Liver function test as measured via serum assay Timepoint [4] 3 months post baseline Secondary outcome [5] Changes in serum cytokeratin 18 fragments Timepoint [5] 3 months post baseline Secondary outcome [6] changes in adipokine measured via ELISA assay Timepoint [6] 3 months post baseline Secondary outcome [7] Changes in anthropometric measurement between the group (composite of weight, waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio and body composition analysis from DXA scan) between the groups Timepoint [7] 3 months post baseline Secondary outcome [8] Changes in patient-reported quality of life (SF-36 v2) between the groups Timepoint [8] 3 months post baseline Secondary outcome [9] changes in liver steatosis as measured via fibroscan Timepoint [9] 3 months post baseline Secondary outcome [10] Changes in fasting glucose level Timepoint [10] 3 months post baseline Secondary outcome [11] Changes in lipid profiles (composite of Low density lipoprotein, high density lipoprotein, total cholesterol and triglycerides) Timepoint [11] 3 months post baseline
