简要总结

The aim of this study is to validate the efficacy of specific combination of different natural histidine-related amino acids in the reduction of visceral fat and liver steatosis, as well their associated comorbidities, in individuals with abdominal obesity.

详细描述

World Health Organization (WHO) defines obesity as an excess of fat accumulation in adipose tissues and in other metabolic organs, leading to serious health implications. Obesity is a rising issue whose prevalence has defined as a global pandemic or globesity (>30% world population) being responsible of millions of deaths annually. Also, obesity is related with several comorbidities such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), with a global prevalence of >25%. Thus, strategies to ameliorate obesity and NAFLD are critical to improve life expectancy and quality of life and to reduce the economic burden of both diseases.

Current therapies against obesity are mainly focused on weight loss, including lifestyle intervention, to modify eating behaviours and to promote physical activity. However, the compliance of patients with these therapies is small. In addition, there are some drugs to fight against these diseases. In obesity, these medical therapies are focused to decrease fat gastrointestinal absorption using lipase inhibitors with several side effects: faecal incontinence, abdominal cramping and raise in blood pressure. In NAFLD, medical therapies are designed to reduce insulin resistance, using pioglitazone and metformin. However, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommend avoiding pioglitazone use by its relationship with heart failure and cancer, and metformin provides just a modest improvement in NAFLD.

Thus, the finding of new and efficient therapeutic agents is highly desirable to combat these global diseases.

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of daily intake of a specific combination of L-histidine, L-serine, L-carnosine and N-Acetylcysteine, in combination with dietary recommendations, on the amount of visceral fat in individuals with abdominal obesity.

The secondary objectives of this study are to evaluate the effect of daily intake of the multi-ingredient aforementioned in liver fat content and obesity related comorbidities.
