NCT02063802

Brief Summary

The purpose of this clinical trial is to examine the effects of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) vs metformin along with an intervention program with healthy habits on body composition, weight, M value in CLAMP and clinical laboratory values, as well as molecular and genetic changes in obese children. Patients from the pediatric service of the Hospital from 8 to 18 years old with a body mass index ≥ Pc 95 and 35kg/m2 are randomized to either interventional group for 4 months.
