Abstract
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) caused by consumption of high levels of fat and sugars (HFHS) in diet is considered one of the most dangerous medical complications among children and adolescents. Nicotinamide is among the promising candidates in ameliorating HFHS diet-induced NAFLD, but its use is limited by the possibility of prompting hepatotoxicity in high doses. Ascorbic acid is another promising candidate, however its use as a hepatoprotective agent is limited by its chemical instability. Therefore, the aim of the study was to overcome their delivery limitations and enhance their hepatoprotective activity by loading into nanoparticles.
