Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary Objective: The secondary objective is to be able to understand if supplementation with vitamin D may be to enhance the beneficial effects resulting from the caloric restriction and when it does occur, to identify which parameters of vitamin D acts predominantly and to suggest pathogenic mechanisms behind.;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint is to evaluate the effects of vitamin D on insulinsensitivity evaluated by Hepatic fasting insulin sensitivity [homeostasis model assessment (HOMA), quantitative insulinsensitivity check index, HOMA-2], postprandial insulin sensitivity [oral glucose insulin sensitivity (OGIS)], insulin secretion (HOMA%B, HOMA2-%B) derived by oral glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity evaluated by hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 6 months;Main Objective: The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether caloric restriction in itself may be sufficient to restore the values of vitamin D in the normal range and if a further supplementation of vitamin D along with the diet can contribute to improve the cardiometabolic profile in obesity

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Secondary outcome measures are: blood pressure, lipid profile, assessing body composition by DEXA, evaluation phospho-calcic metabolism (PTH, vitamin D, calcium); evaluation pattern of inflammation (IL6, IL10, adiponectin, TNF, C-reactive protein, fibrinogen), coagulation parameters of evaluation (analysis 3, lysis area, maximum absorbance capacity);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 6 months
