"Physical activity prevented fatty liver disease by 100 per cent in an animal model of fatty liver disease. In contrast, 100 per cent of the group that did not have physical activity had fatty liver disease. This is a remarkable event. It is rare in medicine for any treatment to prevent any disease by 100 per cent," said Frank Booth, a professor in the MU College of Veterinary Medicine and the MU School of Medicine.
The study, titled "Cessation of Daily Exercise Dramatically Alters Precursors of Hepatic Steatosis in Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) Rats," was published in The Journal of Physiology.
