Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in leptin/adiponectin ratioBaseline, 9 weeks

Change in serum adipose markers assessed as change in leptin/adiponectin ratio.

Correlation of serum triglycerides with leptin levelsBaseline, 9 weeks

The correlation of the serum triglyceride levels will be evaluated against serum leptin levels.

Change in Bacteriodetes/Firmicutes ratioBaseline, 9 weeks

Change in Bacteriodetes/Firmicutes ratio as assessed via stool sample evaluation

Percent change in fecal microbiota compositionBaseline, 9 weeks

Percent change in Bacteriodetes phyla and percent change of short-chain fatty acid-producing species as assessed via stool sample evaluation

Change in body weightBaseline, 9 weeks

Change in body composition as evaluated as change in body weight measured in lbs.

Change in waist circumferenceBaseline, 9 weeks

Change in waist circumference measured in inches.

Change in fecal microbiota diversityBaseline, 9 weeks

Change in fecal microbiota alpha-diversity will be assessed via stool sample evaluation

Change in resting metabolic rateBaseline, 9 weeks

Change in body composition as evaluated as change in resting metabolic rate measured in Calories per day.

Change in blood pressureBaseline, 9 weeks

Change in blood pressure assessed as systolic and diastolic pressure in mmHg.

Change in inflammatory markersBaseline, 9 weeks

Change in serum inflammatory markers including Interleukin (IL)-1ß, IL-6, Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF)-α and liposaccharide (LPS) evaluated in pg/ml.

Change in visceral fatBaseline, 9 weeks

Change in visceral fat levels will be measured using InBody570 with scores ranging from 1-20, with the higher score indicating increased visceral fat (worse outcome).

Change in body compositionBaseline, 9 weeks

Change in body composition as evaluated as change in body fat and lean body mass percentage
