Clinical Trial Summary

The subject of doctoral dissertation: Assessment of the effects of a meatless, ketogenic restrictive diet on body composition, strength capacity, oxidative stress and immune response During planning of research and topic of the doctoral dissertation, it was considered how to modify a standard ketogenic diet rich in saturated fatty acids so that the use of this model of nutrition has the most anti-inflammatory effect. Therefore, it was decided to conduct a research to check whether a diet rich in omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids will show such an effect when following a high-fat diet. Hypotheses: 1. The ketogenic diet reduces systemic inflammation. 2.The ketogenic diet reduces oxidative stress. 3. The ketogenic diet reduces body fat. 4. A ketogenic diet does not worsen strength performance.


Clinical Trial Description

a) main research assumption Reports in the international literature regarding the importance of the ketogenic diet are ambiguous. Some researchers believe that its use reduces body fat and improves insulin sensitivity or lipid profile, while others question this view and question it. Many authors emphasized the need for further research in this area, and this outline of the research project responds to this postulate. In the presented experiment, the duration of a single experiment was 14 days, because the individual adaptation period of each participant should be taken into account - the so-called "keto-adaptation". In order to assess the effectiveness of the nutritional intervention in this experiment, the following were performed: blood sampling for the determination of basic parameters (lipid profile, fasting glucose, fasting insulin, diabetic panel, hormones), determination of glucose and ketone bodies (β ketones) in the blood using a strip test - Optium Xido Neo glucometer, determination of the concentration of ketone bodies (acetoacetic acid) and glucose in the urine using Keto-Diastix - a strip test, examination by means of tests - force (maximum isokinetic force test with the use of Biodex apparatus), determination of inflammatory markers (TNF alpha, pro-inflammatory, anti-inflammatory and pro-or anti-inflammatory interleukins depending on the conditions), determination of oxidative stress markers - related to free radical damage to proteins (carbonyl groups, sulfhydryl groups (SH groups)), body composition measurement using the DEXA method (Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry). Choosing this method instead of the very common bioimpedance, due to the fact that using densitometry, it obtained very precise results of adipose tissue. The above-described procedures were used to check the molecular basis of the phenomenon under study, to determine the parameters in which significant changes are visible and to determine the extent to which they translate into the function of the muscle and the subjective feelings of the subject. Research methodology: - body composition (DEXA)- Isometric muscle strength (Biodex) - blood tests (lipid profile, glucose, insulin, ketone bodies) - inflammatory markers - Luminex method with the use of BioRad BioPlex 200 reader Pro and anti-inflammatory cytokines (Bio-Plex Pro ™ Human Cytokine 8-plex Assay M50000007A, BIO-RAD, USA) (including IFN-y, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, TNF-a, IL-2, IL-4) - metabolic panel - Luminex method with the use of BioRad BioPlex 200 readerm (Bio-Plex Pro ™ Human Diabetes 10-Plex Assay # M171A7001M, BIO-RAD, USA) (including ghrelin, glucagon, insulin, leptin, resistin) - markers of oxidative stress - Colorimetric method; Plate-based colorimetric measurement (360-385 nm) (concentration of protein carbonyl groups: Protein Carbonyl Colorimetric Assay Kit No. 100005020 (Cayman Chemical, Ann Arbor, MI, USA) - markers of oxidative stress (concentration of protein thiol groups) - TMAO (trimethylamine N-oxide) ;
