The Claim
In sedentary adults, resistance exercise combined with whey protein supplementation at 1.5 g/kg body weight per day for four weeks is associated with greater reductions in liver fat (measured by controlled attenuation parameter) and liver enzymes (AST and ALT) than resistance exercise alone.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Sedentary adults who do resistance training and take 1.5 grams of whey protein per kilogram of body weight daily for four weeks experience larger decreases in liver fat and liver enzyme levels than those who do resistance training alone.
See the scientific wording
In sedentary adults, resistance exercise combined with whey protein supplementation at 1.5 g/kg body weight per day for four weeks is associated with greater reductions in liver fat (measured by controlled attenuation parameter) and liver enzymes (AST and ALT) than resistance exercise alone, suggesting a synergistic benefit for hepatic metabolism.
When a person does strength training and eats enough whey protein, their muscles grow bigger and burn more fat even at rest. This pulls fat out of the liver and helps the liver burn fat more efficiently, which lowers fat buildup and reduces damage to liver cells.
What the research says
1 studyPeople who did weight training and drank whey protein every day lost more liver fat and had healthier liver enzymes than those who only did weight training — showing the protein helped even more.
