Relationship Between Biochemical and Anthropometric Variables and CD36 Levels in Metabolic Syndrome Patients After Low Calorie Diet
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating medical nutrition therapy for Metabolic Syndrome and Weight Loss. Completed, enrolled 65 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study evaluated the effects of a weight loss diet on biochemical, anthropometric variables, and cluster of differentiation 36 (CD36) levels in 65 patients newly diagnosed with metabolic syndrome (MetS). Participants followed an 8-week medical nutrition therapy (MNT) designed to achieve at least 5% weight loss. Significant changes were observed in some biochemical parameters and blood pressure among those who adhered to the diet. CD36 levels showed correlations with various metabolic and body composition parameters.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Medical nutrition treatment was planned for all participants with metabolic syndrome. A diet plan was created considering age, gender, blood findings and nutritional habits. Individuals with MetS were given a weight loss diet planned at the basal energy level calculated with the Harris-Benedict equation and applied for 8 weeks. Individuals who applied the weight loss diet were targeted to lose at least 5% of their initial weight at the end of 8 weeks. Individuals who strictly followed the given medical nutrition treatment and achieved the targeted weight loss formed the intervention group, and individuals who did not follow the medical nutrition treatment formed the control group. At the end of the 8 weeks, all parameters, blood pressure and anthropometric measurements of all individuals who participated in the study and retrospective 24-hour food consumption records were recorded again and the study was concluded.
