简要总结

This study aims to evaluate the effect of daily intake of a specific combination of different natural histidine-related amino acids in combination with dietary recommendations, in the reduction of visceral fat, as well as their associated comorbidities, in postmenopausal women with abdominal obesity.

详细描述

In postmenopausal women, the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) increases due to hormonal changes and metabolic shifts. Menopause leads to a decline in estrogen levels, affecting lipid metabolism and promoting abdominal and visceral fat accumulation. This visceral adiposity poses a significant risk factor for insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, cardiovascular diseases, and NAFLD. While the prevalence of NAFLD is initially higher in men, it becomes comparable or even higher in postmenopausal women due to these metabolic changes.

Studies suggest that estrogen deficiency post-menopause contributes to the development of NAFLD in women. Lower serum estrogen levels are associated with a higher likelihood of NAFLD development, indicating the potential role of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in mitigating NAFLD risk in postmenopausal women. However, the use of HRT must be carefully evaluated due to potential adverse effects on cardiovascular health.

Thus, novel, effective and safety therapeutic strategies for managing metabolic disorders in postmenopausal women are highly desirable.

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of daily intake of a specific combination of different natural histidine-related amino acids in combination with dietary recommendations, in the reduction of visceral fat in postmenopausal women with abdominal obesity.

The secondary objectives of this study are to evaluate the effect of daily intake of the multi-ingredient aforementioned in liver function markers, anthropometric parameters, blood pressure and heart rate, markers of lipid metabolism, markers of glucidic metabolism, inflammatory markers, histidine serum levels, sexual hormones, the temperature of supraclavicular brown adipose tissue, changes in the intestinal microbiota, changes in the expression of lipid metabolism-related genes and symptoms associated with postmenopause.
