Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • metabolic parameters

    lipid profiles, body mass index, waist circumference, blood pressure, fasting glucose, insulin, hemoglobin A1c and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance

    6 weeks

  • inflammation markers

    white blood cell count, high-sensitive C-reactive protein, Interleukin-6, adiponectin, serum and urine malondialdehyde, oxidized low-density lipoprotein, vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM) and intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)

    6 weeks

  • Endo-peripheral artery tonometry (EndoPAT) index

    EndoPAT index was assessed to evaluate endothelial function by using a finger plethysmograph based on non-invasive peripheral artery tonometry.

    6 weeks

Study Arms (2)

Low-fat milk group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The low-fat milk group was instructed to consume 2 packs of low-fat milk per day (200 mL twice daily) for 6 weeks.

Dietary Supplement: Low-fat milk group

Control group

NO INTERVENTION

Control group maintained their usual diet without low-fat milk supplement.

Eligibility Criteria

Age35 Years - 65 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Subjects were enrolled if their body mass index (BMI) was ≥23 kg/m2 and they met the criteria for metabolic syndrome.

You may not qualify if:

  • Those who were allergic to milk; those who had a history of digestive disorder; those with a medical history of cardiovascular diseases, including coronary artery diseases, valvular heart diseases, heart failure, or stroke; those who had cancer in the past 5 years; those who were taking hypoglycemic agents for diabetes mellitus; those who had chronic disease such as renal failure or liver cirrhosis; and those with a hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level ≥ 7% were excluded from the research. People who had a weight change \> 5% of the total weight within the past 3 months, those who had started taking or had changed their dose of anti-hypertensive agents or medications for dyslipidemia within the previous 1 month, those who had a newly diagnosed dyslipidemia requiring drug treatment, those who had taken steroids either orally or by injection within the previous 3 months, those who were pregnant or were expecting to become pregnant; and those who regularly consumed milk in quantities ≥ 200 mL per day at least 3 times a week on average were also excluded.
