Interventional
Study Design
Not specified
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Insulin resistance is estimated from fasting serum glucose (measured with enzymatic methods) and insulin concentrations (measured with a chemiluminescence immunoassay method) with a computer-based Homeostasis Model Assessment system (HOMA2-IR) at baseline, 24 and 48 weeks.
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<br> 1. Body mass index is determined using weight and height measurements at baseline, 4, 8, 12, 20, 24 and 48 weeks<br> 2. Waist circumference is determined using a nonstretchable measuring tape at baseline, 4, 8, 12, 20, 24 and 48 weeks<br> 3. Total Cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and triglycerides are measured using enzymatic methods at baseline, 24 and 48 weeks. LDL cholesterol is calculated using the Friedewald formula<br>
