Bioavailability of Specialized Pro-resolving Mediators in Obese Humans
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating SPM Active for Obesity Adult Onset. Completed, enrolled 24 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Research Question: Does 4 weeks of supplementation with 'SPM Active' lead to a statistically significant increase in plasma SPM concentration for obese human subjects? Primary Aim 1: To compare plasma SPM concentrations and immunological fitness pre- and post- oral SPM administration in the obese. * Aim 1a: To quantify plasma SPM concentrations in plasma (pg/mL), serum (pg/mL) and PBMCs before and after 4 weeks of supplementation with 'SPM Active.' The concentration of SPMs in plasma, in addition to other PUFA-derived metabolites that share the same enzymatic pathways as SPMs, will be established at baseline and post-intervention using mass spectrometry-based metabololipidomics. * Aim 1b: To measure in vitro antibody responses of B cells in PBMC pool with in vitro stimulation and cytokine production before and after 4 weeks of supplementation with 'SPM Active.' In addition, researchers will quantify the relative abundance of differing immune cell populations.

Interventions
Each capsule contains 145 mg of SPMs (fractionated marine lipids standardized to 18-HEPE, 14-HDHA, and 17-HDHA). All subjects will take 4 capsules orally each day for a total daily dose of 580 mg.
