Efficacy and safety of guanabenz acetate treatment for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: a study protocol for a randomised investigator-initiated phase IIa study by Atsushi Nakajima, Yasushi Honda, Kento Imajo, Masato Yoneda, Yuji Ogawa, Takaomi Kessoku, Takashi Kobayashi, Anna Ozaki, Asako Nogami, Satoru Saito, Michihiro Iwaki, Kosuke Tanaka, Atsushi Yamamoto, Kota Takahashi, Yuki Kasai, Noritoshi Kobayashi

“…Guanabenz acetate, a selective α2-adrenoceptor stimulator used in the treatment of hypertension, binds at a high-affinity constant to a nuclear transcriptional coregulator, helicase with zinc finger 2 (Helz2) and inhibits Helz2-medaited steatosis in the liver; chronic oral administration of guanabenz acetate produces a dose-dependent inhibition of lipid accumulation by inhibiting lipogenesis and activating fatty acid Β-oxidation in the liver of obese mice, resulting in improvement of insulin resistance and hyperlipidaemia. Taken all together, guanabenz acetate has a potentially effective in improving the development of NAFLD/NASH and metabolic abnormalities. …”
