    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2020-09-10) Espejo Jesus, Melisa Janet; Lozada Urbano, Michelle Fátima
    An information search was carried out in the databases PUBMED, SCIENCE DIRECT, NCBI, COCHRANE LIBRARY, THE JOURNAL OF PEDIATRICS, finding 43 articles, 10 being selected, which have been evaluated by the CASPE critical reading tool, finally the selected article allowed us to conclude that, when omega-3 fatty acids (DHA and EPA; in a ratio of 3:2 (450-1300 mg / day)) were supplemented during 6 months did not show a significant effect on the reduction of liver fat according to the study. Supplementation with omega-3 showed significant changes in the levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGTP) in children with NAFLD compared to placebo and suggested that omega-3 may be useful in patients. with NAFLD to prevent other complications, such as cardiovascular diseases.
