Cover Story: The primary aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of an 8-week very low-calorie ketogenic diet (VLCKD) on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in subjects affected by overweight or obesity; hepatic steatosis was diagnosed by transient elastography (FibroScan), utilized as a point-of-care strategy in diagnostic procedures of patients with suspected NAFLD. CAP, the FibroScan parameter quantifying fatty liver accumulation, and fatty liver index (FLI), a benchmark of steatosis, revealed a significant decline after VLCKD. Moreover, hematic parameters such as fasting glucose, insulin, lipidic profile, ALT, γGT concentrations, as well as insulin resistance  (quantified by HOMAIR), were significantly lower after VLCKD.
