Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Childhood Obesity

• Registration Number: NCT04723849
• Lead Sponsor: Universita di Verona

Brief Summary

The aim of our study was to test the effects on endothelium of a combination of curcumin, resveratrol, plus zinc, magnesium, selenium and Vitamin D in a cohort of pediatric subjects with obesity.

Detailed Description

The aim of our study was to test the effects on endothelium of a combination of curcumin, resveratrol, plus zinc, magnesium, selenium and Vitamin D in a cohort of pediatric subjects with obesity. Endothelial function was assessed using two methodologies: a "post occlusive release hyperemic test" (PORH) and a "heat provocation test" (HPT). Treatment tablet composition (Auxilie® Immuplus, Envicon Medical, Verona, Italy): Vitamin D3: 25,00 mcg, Folic acid: 90,00 mcg, Selenium: 55,00 mcg Magnesium: 300,00 mg, Zinc: 7,00 mg, Curcum (Meriva®): 100,00 mg Polygonum dry extract: 20,41 mg (of which Resveratrol: 20,00 mg), Soy dry extract: 37,50 mg. Placebo tablet composition: Saccharose, fructose, aroma, anti-agglomerate agents: fatty acids magnesium salts, silicium dioxide, colorant: riboflavin 5-sodium phosphate; sweetener: stevia glycoside, sucralose, neosperidin DC. Both tablets (treatment and placebo) were similar in form, color and flavor.
