Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Fasting blood glucose (FBG). Timepoint: Measurement of fasting blood sugar at the beginning of the study (before the intervention) and 90 days after the start of synbiotic consumption. Method of measurement: Enzymatic method.;Serum Insulin. Timepoint: Measurement of serum insulin at the beginning of the study (before the intervention) and 90 days after the start of synbiotic consumption. Method of measurement: Elisa method.;Serum total testosterone. Timepoint: Measurement of serum total testosterone at the beginning of the study (before the intervention) and 90 days after the start of synbiotic consumption. Method of measurement: Elisa method.;HOMA-ß: The homeostasis model assessment of pancreatic ß-cell function. Timepoint: Measurement of HOMA-ß at the beginning of the study (before the intervention) and 90 days after the start of synbiotic consumption. Method of measurement: Calculating by formula: HOMA-ß=360×Insulin (lnternational Unit/mililiter)/Fasting glucose (miligram/deciliter) - 63.;HOMA-IR: Homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance. Timepoint: Measurement of HOMA-IR at the beginning of the study (before the intervention) and 90 days after the start of synbiotic consumption. Method of measurement: Calculating by formula: HOMA-IR = [FBG (miligram/deciliter)×Fasting Insulin (lnternational Unit/mililiter)]/405.;QUICKI: The quantitative insulin-sensitivity check index. Timepoint: Measurement of QUICKI at the beginning of the study (before the intervention) and 90 days after the start of synbiotic consumption. Method of measurement: Calculating by formula: QUICKI = 1/[log fasting insulin (lnternational Unit/mililiter)+log fasting glucose(miligram/deciliter)].

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Serum triglyceride (TG). Timepoint: Measurement of serum triglyceride at the beginning of the study (before the intervention) and 90 days after the start of synbiotic consumption. Method of measurement: Enzymatic method.;Serum total cholesterol. Timepoint: Measurement of serum total cholesterol at the beginning of the study (before the intervention) and 90 days after the start of synbiotic consumption. Method of measurement: Enzymatic method.;Low density lipoprotein cholestrol (LDL-C). Timepoint: Measurement of low density lipoprotein cholestrol (LDL-C) at the beginning of the study (before the intervention) and 90 days after the start of synbiotic consumption. Method of measurement: Enzymatic method.;High density lipoprotein cholestrol (HDL-C). Timepoint: Measurement of high density lipoprotein cholestrol (HDL-C) at the beginning of the study (before the intervention) and 90 days after the start of synbiotic consumption. Method of measurement: Enzymatic method.;C reactive protein quantitive (CRP Quantitive). Timepoint: Measurement of C reactive protein quantitive (CRP Quantitive) at the beginning of the study (before the intervention) and 90 days after the start of synbiotic consumption. Method of measurement: Elisa method.;Weight. Timepoint: Measurement of weight at the beginning of the study (before the intervention) and 90 days after the start of synbiotic consumption. Method of measurement: Body weight scale.;Waist circumference. Timepoint: Measurement of waist circumference at the beginning of the study (before the intervention) and 90 days after the start of synbiotic consumption. Method of measurement: Tape meter.;Hip circumference. Timepoint: Measurement of hip circumference at the beginning of the study (before the intervention) and 90 days after the start of synbiotic consumption. Method of measurement: Tape meter.;Body mass index. Timepoint: Measurement of BMI at the beginning of the study (before the intervention) and 90 days after the start of synbioti
