Effect of Spirulina Platensis Supplementation and Calorie Restriction on Anthropometric, Body Composition, Lipid Profiles, Insulin Resistance, Stress Oxidative Biomarkers In Obese Men: A Randomized Controlled Trial Protocol Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Spirulina supplementation and calorie restriction in obese men for Obesity. Completed, enrolled 35 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effects of spirulina platensis supplementation and calorie restriction on anthropometric parameters, body composition, lipid profile, insulin resistance, serum superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels, and serum malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in men with obesity. The main question it aims to answer are: What is the effect of spirulina platensis supplementation and calorie restriction on anthropometric parameters, body composition, lipid profile, insulin resistance, serum Superoxide Dismutase levels, and serum Malondialdehyde levels in obese individuals? Participants will be respondents were given spirulina supplements for 30 days with a dose of 2x2 capsules 450mg Researchers will compare intervention group with placebo group that weren't given spirulina supplementation to see if there is any effects on anthropometric parameters, body composition, lipid profile, insulin resistance, serum Superoxide Dismutase levels, and serum Malondialdehyde levels
