Brief Summary

Forty overweight and obese subjects (BMI 25-39.9) with metabolic syndrome will be randomized to inadequate dairy (\<0.5 serving/day) and adequate dairy (3.5 servings/day) weight maintenance (eucaloric) diets for 12 weeks. Body weight will be measured weekly and body composition (via dual X-ray absorptiometry), insulin sensitivity index, plasma lipids and calcitrophic hormones will be measured at weeks 0, 4 and 12 of the dietary intervention. Oxidative burden will be assessed by measurement of plasma malonaldehyde, 8-isoprostane F2α and oxidized LDL and inflammatory stress will be assessed by measurement of IL-6, IL-15, MCP, C-reactive protein, adiponectin and TNF-α levels in plasma at 0, 1, 4 and 12 weeks). An additional global evaluation of diet-induced changes in cytokines will be conducted using cytokine protein arrays to profile relative changes in 36 additional potentially relevant cytokines. All data will be analyzed via two-factor (diet X obesity status) multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA)

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 50 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

  • Diagnosis of metabolic syndrome as defined by NCEP ATP III criteria: Presence of three or more of the following risk determinants:
  • Abdominal obesity (This criterion must be met by all obese subjects entered into the study)
  • Waist circumference \>102 cm for males
  • Waist circumference \>88 cm for females
  • Triglycerides \>150 mg/dL
  • HDL cholesterol \<40 mg/dL (men); \< 50 mg/dL (women)
  • Blood pressure \>130/\>85 mm Hg (This criterion must be met by all subjects \[overweight and obese\] entered into the study).
  • Fasting glucose \>100 mg/dL
  • Body mass index (BMI) 25-39.9
  • Age 18-50 years
  • Weight stable: no more than 1 kg weight gain or loss during past four weeks

You may not qualify if:

  • BMI \< 25 or \>40
  • Type II diabetes requiring the use of any oral antidiabetic agent and/or insulin (because of confounding effects on ROS)
  • Adverse response to study foods (lactose intolerance, dairy intolerance, dairy allergy); this will be determined by self-report.
  • history or presence of significant metabolic disease which could impact on the results of the study (i.e. endocrine, hepatic, renal disease)
  • history of eating disorder
  • presence of active gastrointestinal disorders such as malabsorption syndromes
  • pregnancy or lactation
  • use of obesity pharmacotherapeutic agents within the last 6 months
  • use of over-the-counter anti-obesity agents (e.g. those containing phenylpropanalamine, ephedrine and/or caffeine) within the last 3 months
  • Chronic use of anti-inflammatory agents within the last four weeks
  • Use of antioxidant supplements within the last four weeks
  • Recent (current or past 12 weeks) use of any psychotropic medication
  • Recent (past four weeks) initiation of an exercise program
  • Recent (past twelve weeks) initiation of hormone replacement therapy or change in HRT regimen
  • Recent (past twelve weeks) initiation of hormonal birth control or change in hormonal birth control regimen
  • +1 more criteria
