Clinical Trial Summary

The use of dietary amino acids has been explored for therapeutic and safety intervention of obesity and obesity-induced dysfunction. In particular, 3 molecules have been shown to be effective both in the animal model and in humans, in promoting the loss of fat mass, specifically visceral adipose tissue, and in maintaining free fat mass: arginine, glutamine and leucine (and its metabolite beta hydroxy methyl butyrate, HMB). The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy in terms of fat mass, in particular Visceral Adipose Tissue reduction, as primary end point, in obese patients following the administration of specific food for special medical purposes (FSMP) for muscle recovery, consisting of arginine, glutamine and HMB. The secondary end point is the evaluation of skin state, by a validate self-reported questionnaire survey to assess skin, after 4- weeks intake of this FSMP.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Changes on Visceral Adipose Tissue Evaluation of Visceral Adipose Tissue (g) Baseline / 30 days
Secondary Changes on Body Composition Evaluation of fat mass and fat free mass (g) Baseline / 30 days
Secondary Changes on Metabolic parameters Evaluation of Fasting blood glucose (mg/dl), total cholesterol (mg/dl), low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (mg/dl), high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (mg/dl) and triglyceride levels (mg/dl) Baseline / 30 days
Secondary Changes on Metabolic parameters Evaluation of insulin (mcIU/mL) Baseline / 30 days
Secondary Changes on Metabolic parameters Evaluation of insulin resistance (HOMA index) Baseline / 30 days
Secondary Changes on anthropometric measurements Evaluation of body weight (kg) and height (m) combined for Body Mass Index (kg/m2) Baseline / 30 days
Secondary Changes on anthropometric measurements Evaluation of waist circumference (cm) Baseline / 30 days
Secondary Changes on skin condition Administration of a questionnaire survey with a point evaluation scale from 0 to 5 (Oe et al, 2017). For the skin luster and suppleness, one is the worst and five is the best. For the wrinkles, one is least wrinkles; not worry, and five is most wrinkles; most care. Baseline / 30 days
