Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine if orlistat Xenical therapy in overweight patients with NASH leads to enhanced weight loss over time with subsequent improvement in the underlying necroinflammatory and fibrotic changes that are typical of NASH
Detailed Description: Previous studies have suggested that steady weight loss over time will result in improvement in aminotransferases and more importantly underlying histopathology in patients with NASH A total of 50 biopsy-proven NASH patients will be enrolled in a prospective randomized fashion Twenty-five patients have been enrolled at the primary study site at Saint Louis University Recruitment of the next 25 patients is taking place at a study subsite at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio Texas

This will be an open-label study comparing an established weight loss program 1400-calorie diet with 30 fat plus daily vitamin E 800 IU and a daily multivitamin to the same weight loss program daily vitamin E 800 IU and multivitamin plus orlistat 120 mg three times daily for 36 weeks

Data to be collected from prospective patients includes demographic information such as age sex past medical history medications height and weight Biochemical data to be collected from prospective patients includes liver enzymes measures of insulin resistance to include insulin levels lipid panel hemoglobin A1C free fatty acids complete blood count coagulation studies and vitamin E levels Blood will also be collected and stored for markers of inflammation and fibrosis such as C reactive protein and TNF-alpha A liver biopsy will be obtained at the completion of the study for both histopathologic analysis and RNA analysis
