NCT04140851

Brief Summary

This study is to explore the effects of dietary intervention on the figure, fatty liver and biochemical indexes; the intestinal flora and metabolomics of the overweight and obese patients. This study was a clinical control and self-control study (before and after), which enrolled 12 patients with simple overweight or obesity, including 9 males and 3 females. In addition, 20 patients with simple overweight or obesity were randomly selected by comparable age and gender to the control group (excluding criteria), including 11 males and 9 females, and another 20 healthy people were recruited to the healthy control group from the Physical Examination Center, Qilu Hospital of Shandong University.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • The value of Ultrasound Attentunation Parameter in the overweight and obese patients

    Liver is detected by FibroTouch to get UAP showing liver steatosis in obesity

    3 months

  • The serological indexes in the overweight and obese patients

    Serological testing gets a series of serological indicator, such as AST/ALT (U/L)

    3 months

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • The composition of immune cells in peripheral blood of the overweight and obese patients

    3 months

  • The composition of intestinal flora of the overweight and obese patients

    3 months

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

You may qualify if:

  • for the overweight/obesity group. Diagnostic criteria for overweight or obesity (basis): The classification standard% for the body mass index of Chinese population \[(BMI) = weight (kg)/height square (m\^2)\] recommended by the Working Group on Obesity of China (WGOC): obesity: BMI ≥ 28 kg/m\^2; overweight: 28 kg/m\^2 \> BMI ≥ 24 kg/m\^2; normal weight: 24 kg/m\^2 \> BMI ≥18.5 kg/m\^2; underweight: BMI \< 18.5 kg/m\^2;
  • The subjects had not received weight loss treatment such as being on diet, diet drugs or surgery 6 months before the enrollment;
  • The subjects signed the informed consent form, and were able and willing to adhere to low-carbohydrate diet and receive regular call and outpatient follow-up;

You may not qualify if:

  • pregnant women, lactating women or women planning to get pregnant;
  • the obesity caused by endocrine system and central nervous system diseases or drugs, type 2 diabetes, autoimmune diseases and other endocrine systemic diseases;
  • history of acute or chronic infection, surgery or trauma, or history of malignant tumor;
  • severe liver and kidney dysfunction (transaminase \> 2.5 times of normal upper limit); creatinine: male ≥ 133 μmol/L; female ≥ 124 μmol/L;
  • the patients with severe heart, brain or peripheral vascular diseases;
  • Those unable to cooperate with the observer for various reasons.
  • The subjects withdrew from the criteria:
  • being unable to continue the intervention due to other reasons or diseases during the treatment;
  • being unsatisfied with the improvement in the symptoms during the treatment and requiring to stop the trial;
  • having serious adverse events or adverse reactions, and the investigator considers it is necessary for the subject to terminate the trial from the medical perspective.
