Background/Aims: We aimed to analyze the efficiency of a novel treatment approach, long-term synbiotic supplementation, in addition to lifestyle changes in children with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Materials andMethods: The study included children with NAFLD (n=28) and a healthy control group (n=30). Children with NAFLD were given 1 capsule/day of synbiotics. Anthropometric parameters; biochemical analysis, including ethanol, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), total oxidant status (TOS) and anti-oxidant status (TAS), zonulin, and fecal calprotectin; and ultrasonographic examination were performed at baseline and 4 months later.Results: The grade of fatty liver was decreased (>= 1 grade) in 19 of the 28 patients (67.8%) after synbiotic supplementation. Total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels, TNF-alpha, C-reactive protein (CRP), and ethanol were significantly decreased, and TAS levels were significantly increased at the end of treatment (p
