The invention likewise relates to the Bifidobacterium CECT7765 strain, to the cellular components, metabolites and secreted molecules thereof, to the combinations thereof with other microorganisms, and to compositions that include the preceding products, as well as to the use of one strain of the species Bifidobacterium pseudocatenulatumo and to the use of the CECT 7765 strain for preventing and / or treating obesity; excess weight; hyperglycemia; and diabetes, preferably type-2 Diabetes Mellitus; hepatic steatosis or fatty liver; dyslipidemia; metabolic syndrome; immune system dysfunction associated with obesity and excess weight; and an imbalance in the composition of the intestinal microbiota associated with obesity and excess weight.

The present invention is directed to a System characterization of NASH that combines Modeling and Biomarkers, enabling pharmaceutical compositions and methods of treatment that relate to the inhibition, resolution and / or prevention of Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) and Non Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH). Said conditions are Liver related complications among the array of manifestations of metabolic syndromes, including Type 2 diabetes, hyperlipidemia, weight gain, abdominal obesity, insulin resistance, hypertension, atherosclerosis, fatty liver diseases and certain chronic inflammatory states that lead to these manifestations, among others. In additional aspects, the present invention relates to compositions and methods which may be used to treat, inhibit or reduce the likelihood of NASH and NAFLD complications in patients with hepatitis viral infections, including Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C viral infections, as well as the secondary disease states and / or conditions which are often associated with such viral infections, including hepatic steatosis (steatohepatitis), cirrhosis, fatty liver and hepatocellular cancer, metabolic syndrome complications including cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases and premature ageing, among other disease states or conditions.

The present invention relates to compositions comprising Graptopetalum and uses thereof Graptopetalum can protect animals from liver diseases and medical conditions, such as inflammation, steatosis, and fibrosis. In particular, Graptopetalum inhibits proliferation of activated hepatic stellate cells, which play a pivotal role in liver fibrosis. Graptopetalum also has anti-fibrosis activities as well as inhibits proliferation of lung fibroblasts. Therefore, in addition to being a prophylactic and therapeutic agent for the liver, Graptopetalum is useful against fibrosis or inflammation of tissues or organs other than the liver, in particular lung, kidney, and bladder. Other plants in the family of Crassulaceae, particularly Echeveria, have similar effects as Graptopetalum.

A pharmaceutical composition containing a water-soluble fraction of Graptopetalum and its use in treating a liver disease or condition, such as inflammation, steatosis, and fibrosis.
