Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Insulin Resistance	Fasting insulin concentration (uU/ml) will be measured before and after 2 hours of 75g glucose drink. Insulin resistance will be measured before and after 20 weeks of the intervention.	20 weeks
Primary	Oral glucose test OGTT	Fasting glucose concentration (mg/dL) will be measured before and after 2 hours of 75g glucose drink. OGTT will be measured before and after 20 weeks of the intervention. Fating glucose and fasting insulin concentrations will be combined to report HOMA-IR index (homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance).	20 weeks
Primary	Testosterone	Testosterone (ng/mL) concentrations will measured at baseline and after 20 weeks of the intervention. Results of testosterone level and SHBG level will be combined to report FAI index (index of free androgen).	20 weeks
Primary	DHEA-SO4	DHEA-SO4 (umol/L) concentrations will measured at baseline and after 20 weeks of the intervention. Results of testosterone level and SHBG level will be combined to report FAI index (index of free androgen).	20 weeks
Primary	SHBG	SHBG (nmol/L) concentrations will measured at baseline and after 20 weeks of the intervention. Results of testosterone level and SHBG level will be combined to report FAI index (index of free androgen).	20 weeks
Primary	Free androgen index FAI	Results of testosterone level and SHBG level will be combined to report FAI index (index of free androgen).	20 weeks
Primary	Body weight	Body weight (kg) will be assessment at baseline and after 20 weeks of the intervention.	20 weeks
Primary	Body height	Body height (cm) will be assessment at baseline of the intervention.	Baseline
Primary	Body composition	Fat mass (%), fat free mass (%) will be assessment at baseline and after 20 weeks of the intervention.	20 weeks
Primary	Blood lipid profile: cholesterole	Cholesterole (mg/dL) will be measured at baseline and after 20 weeks of the intervention	20 weeks
Primary	Blood lipid profile: triglicerydes	Triglicerydes (mg/dL) will be measured at baseline and after 20 weeks of the intervention	20 weeks
Primary	Blood lipid profile: high density lipoprotein	High density lipoprotein HDL (mg/dL) will be measured at baseline and after 20 weeks of the intervention	20 weeks
Primary	Blood lipid profile: low density lipoprotein	Low density lipoprotein LDL (mg/dL) will be measured at baseline and after 20 weeks of the intervention	20 weeks
Secondary	Assessment of qualitative and quantitative of the microbiome	Qualitative and quantitative determination of the composition of gut microbiota will be assessment at baseline and after 20 weeks of the intervention	20 weeks
Secondary	Assessment of B-glucuronidase and B-glucosiadase activity	B-glucuronidase and B-glucosiadase activity in stoolen sample will be assessment at baseline and after 20 weeks of the intervention	20 weeks
Secondary	Assessment of short-chain fatty acids	Assessment of short-chain fatty acids will be assessment at baseline and after 20 weeks of the intervention	20 weeks
