The Effect of Mild Weight Loss on Circulating Metabolite Profiles

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Weight Loss; Visceral Fat

• Registration Number: NCT03135132
• Lead Sponsor: Yonsei University

Brief Summary

To determine whether low calorie diet (LCD)-induced weight reduction caused changes in plasma metabolites and metabolic traits from baseline.

Detailed Description

Over a 12-week clinical intervention period, a randomized, controlled study was carried out; overweight subjects consumed a LCD (approximately 300kcal/d deficit, n=47) or a weight-maintenance diet (control, n=50) were included for analyzing plasma samples and metabolites using an ultra-performance liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry (UPLC-LTQ/Orbitrap MS).
