Lifestyle modifications, such as adopting a healthy diet, represent the standard treatment for NAFLD. However, the impact of the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet on oxidative stress biomarkers in patients with NAFLD remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effect of the DASH diet on total antioxidant capacity (TAC), catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels, and body composition in overweight and obese patients with NAFLD.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 70 overweight and obese patients aged 1870 years were randomly assigned to either the intervention (DASH diet,\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 35) or the control group (control diet,\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 35) for 12 weeks, with both groups following a calorie-restricted diet.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The mean age of participants was 43.1 \u00b1 8.1 years in the DASH group and 45.1 \u00b1 8.6 years in the control group. At the end of the study, a significant difference was observed in the mean TAC and SOD levels between the two groups (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.02). After adjusting for potential confounding factors, such as age, sex, diabetes, smoking, physical activity, and baseline values, the DASH diet maintained its significant effects on TAC and SOD compared to the control diet (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.03).
