Dear Editor: Sir, we read with much interest the Concise Review by Doctors Machado and Cortez-Pinto on gut microbiota and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) appearing in the July-August issue of Annals of Hepatology. The Authors correctly pointed out that, based on preliminary experiments on different NAFLD animal models and different bacterial strains of probiotics, it would be expected that interventions which modulate intestinal microbiota may be beneficial also in human obesity related liver dysfunction. In this regard they mentioned the two non-randomized pilot studies quoted by the Cochrane meta-analysis of Lirussi, et al. as the only meager evidence available at present.
