Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Metabolic syndrome parameters (fasting glucose, triglycerides, cholesterol, waist circumference and blood pressure). Timepoint: 3 month. Method of measurement: Measurement of blood pressure using mercury sphygmomanometer - Glucose by enzymatic method and using glucose oxidase, total cholesterol by enzymatic method and Cholesterol estrogen and cholesterol oxidase are measured enzymatically using glycerol phosphate oxidase.;Insulin Resistance Index. Timepoint: 3month. Method of measurement: The Homeostasis Model Assessment of IR (HOMA-IR) has proved to be a robust tool for the surrogate assessment of IR.MA-IR= (glucose in mmol/L x insulin in mIU/mL)/22.5.;Serum concentrations of adipokine (resistin and visfatin. Timepoint: 3month. Method of measurement: using ELISA method and special kit instructions.;Serum concentrations of cytokines (interleukin-1 beta and tumor necrosis factor alpha). Timepoint: 3month. Method of measurement: using ELISA method and special kit instructions.;Severity of recurrent colitis. Timepoint: 3month. Method of measurement: Severity of recurrent colitis based on Mayo score questionnaire.;Evaluation of food intake. Timepoint: 3month. Method of measurement: Evaluation of food intake using food frequency questionnaire 168 items.
