Summary

Smectite is a natural silicate clay belonging to the dioctahedral smectite class and has the ability directly to absorb bacterial toxins, bacteria, viruses and bile salts. Diosmectite also has a protective effect against intestinal inflammation hence suppressing production of cytokines such as IL-8 and TNFα. Investigators suggested that all these pharmacological properties may be beneficial for the treatment of NAFLD. Based on preclinical data, in rats with MSG induced obesity supplementation of alive probiotics with smectite gel (Symbiter-Forte) due to his absorbent activity lead to significant reduction of chronic systemic inflammatory markers, lower total NAS (NAFLD activity score) score, with more pronounced reduction of lobular inflammation as compared to administration of probiotic alone. In respect to preclinical data, in this double-blind single center randomized clinical trial (RCT) the efficacy of alive probiotics supplementation with smectite gel (Symbiter-Forte) vs. placebo in type-2 diabetes patient with NAFLD detected on ultrasonography will be studied
