Clinical Trial Summary

The present study aimed to investigate the changes produced in gut microbiota by a very-low-calorie-ketogenic diet followed by a low calorie diet, whether the use of synbiotics is able to modulate gut microbiota diversity and composition and its association with gut permeability and inflammation


Clinical Trial Description

All participants followed a very-low-calorie ketogenic diet according to a commercial weight loss program (Pronokal method), which includes lifestyle and behavioural modification support. This method is based on high-biological-value protein preparations which contained 15 g protein, 4 g carbohydrates, 3 g fat and 50 mg docosahexaenoic acid, and provided 90-110 kcal. The study was divided in two phases. The first phase consists of a very-low-calorie ketogenic diet (600-800 kcal/day), low in carbohydrates and lipids. Throughout this ketogenic phase, supplements of vitamins and minerals such as K, Na, Mg, Ca and omega-3 fatty acids were provided. In this study the ketogenic step was maintained for 2 months. Then, the patients started a low-calorie diet (800-1500 kcal/day) which lasted two months.

During the first phase consisting of a very-low-calorie ketogenic diet, subjects were randomly divided into two groups, the treatment group who received synbiotic supplementation as capsules, a complex of B. lactis, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, B. longum ES1 and prebiotics fiber (synbiotic 1) and the control group who received a placebo. During the second phase consisting of a low-calorie diet, the treatment group received synbiotic supplementation as capsules consisting of B. animalis subsp. lactis and prebiotics fiber (synbiotic 2) (synbiotic1 + synbiotic 2 group), while the control group was divided into two groups: one continued receiving a placebo (control group) whilst the other group received synbiotic 2 (placebo + synbiotic2 group). ;
