Analysis of the Efficacy of Polyenyl Phosphatidylcholine in Combination with Liraglutide in Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and the Effect of Omentin-1 and Vaspin Expression.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of combining polyene phosphatidylcholine (PPC) with liraglutide in the treatment of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and investigate its impact on adipokine expression, specifically omentin-1 and vaspin.
Methods: One hundred twenty NAFLD patients were randomly assigned to either the observation group (n = 60) or the control group (n = 60). The control group received single-dose PPC treatment, while the observation group received a combination of PPC and liraglutide for 12 weeks. Clinical efficacy, adipose-related factors (omentin-1, vaspin, serum fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21)), liver enzymes (alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT)), and adverse reaction rates were compared between the two groups before and after treatment.
Results: In the observation group, the clinical effectiveness rate (95.00%) was significantly higher than that in the control group (83.33%) (P < .05). Before treatment, there were no significant differences in omentin-1, vaspin, FGF21, ALT, AST, and GGT between the two groups (P > .05). After treatment, both groups showed decreased levels of vaspin, FGF21, ALT, AST, and GGT, along with increased omentin-1 levels. However, levels of vaspin, FGF21, ALT, AST, and GGT were lower in the observation group compared to the control group, while omentin-1 levels were higher (P < .05). Adverse reaction rates did not significantly differ between the two groups (10.00% vs. 6.67%) (P > .05).
Conclusions: The combination therapy of PPC and liraglutide demonstrates efficacy in treating NAFLD, improving adipose-related factors, and reducing liver enzyme activity with high safety. This approach warrants broader clinical implementation.
