About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Obesity focused on measuring probiotics, metabolic syndrome, obesity, microbiome

Eligibility Criteria

45 Years - 70 Years (Adult, Older Adult)FemaleDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • body mass index (BMI) equal to or greater than 30 kg/m2

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Number of patients with decreased cardiometabolic risk
Cardiometabolic risk will be estimated at baseline and after 3 months of treatment using the SCORE scale. SCORE scale summarize 5 risk factors (sex, age, systolic blood pressure, total cholesterol and smoking). The number of patients with decreased cardiometabolic risk will be measured.

Secondary Outcome Measures

blood pressure
Body mass index
waist circumference
serum lipids
Total antioxidant status (TAS) evaluated by colorimetric method with Tas Randox kit
insulin estimated by immunoassay (DIAsource immunoassays)
interleukin-6 measured by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (R&D Quantikine® Human Il-6 kit)
Total body fat content
Total body fat content will be measured at baseline and after 3 months of treatment using electrical bioimpedance
Measurement of mineral content in hair
The content of iron, magnezium, calcium, selenium, copper and lead in patients' hair at baseline and after 3 months of treatment will be estimated using atomic absorption spectrometry.
Fecal examination (Kalprotektyna, Alfa1 - antytrypsyna )

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Effect of oral supplementation with probiotics on cardiometabolic risk factors, microflora and intestinal epithelial permeability, mineral content and lifestyle in obese women with postmenopausal metabolic syndrome: double-blind, randomized clinical trial.
Detailed Description
The purpose of the study is to determine whether oral probiotic supplementation affects cardiometabolic risk, intestinal epithelial permeability, metabolic activity and intestinal flora composition, mineral content, and lifestyle in obese women with metabolic syndrome. Probiotics are a group of non-pathogenic microbes that bring health benefits to the host. Their use enables the variety and proper functioning of intestinal microflora. The use of probiotics increases the amount of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli, what directly affects the reduction of endotoxemia by sealing the intestinal wall, as well as the improvement of fat, carbohydrate and insulin metabolism. The project is due to evaluate the effect of supplementation with selected probiotics in patients with metabolic syndrome on: lipid metabolism- total cholesterol, HDL and LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, blood glucose concentration, blood pressure values, anthropometric parameters, quality of life, the contentl of minerals,
