Brief summary
The objective of this study is to evaluate the influence of a 3 months SODB® supplementation in adipose tissue modulations of overweight women, in comparison to a placebo.
Detailed description
Beneficial experimental results have already been obtained with SODB®. That is why, the investigators expect several effects of SODB® here. Indeed, this clinical study could show that SODB® is able to induce endogenous antioxidant defence, and then reduce oxidative stress generally observed in overweight adipose tissue. Moreover, this study could evaluate the impact of a decrease in oxidative stress on the others overweight-induced disorders, such as insulin resistance, inflammation, fibrosis, lipolyse alterations.
Interventions
Subjects are supplemented with SODB, daily over 3 Months. Each volunteer was seen for the 4 visits: - visit of pre-inclusion, - visit V1, so-called inclusion visit, - visit V2 at 1,5 months and - visit V3 at 3 months
Subjects are supplemented with placebo, daily over 3 Months. Each volunteer was seen for the 4 visits: - visit of pre-inclusion, - visit V1, so-called inclusion visit, - visit V2 at 1,5 months and - visit V3 at 3 months
