Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Blood lipid profile: low density lipoprotein20 weeksLow density lipoprotein LDL (mg/dL) will be measured at baseline and after 20 weeks of the intervention
Blood lipid profile: cholesterole20 weeksCholesterole (mg/dL) will be measured at baseline and after 20 weeks of the intervention
Blood lipid profile: triglicerydes20 weeksTriglicerydes (mg/dL) will be measured at baseline and after 20 weeks of the intervention
Blood lipid profile: high density lipoprotein20 weeksHigh density lipoprotein HDL (mg/dL) will be measured at baseline and after 20 weeks of the intervention
Insulin Resistance20 weeksFasting insulin concentration (uU/ml) will be measured before and after 2 hours of 75g glucose drink. Insulin resistance will be measured before and after 20 weeks of the intervention.
Oral glucose test OGTT20 weeksFasting glucose concentration (mg/dL) will be measured before and after 2 hours of 75g glucose drink. OGTT will be measured before and after 20 weeks of the intervention. Fating glucose and fasting insulin concentrations will be combined to report HOMA-IR index (homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance).
Testosterone20 weeksTestosterone (ng/mL) concentrations will measured at baseline and after 20 weeks of the intervention. Results of testosterone level and SHBG level will be combined to report FAI index (index of free androgen).
DHEA-SO420 weeksDHEA-SO4 (umol/L) concentrations will measured at baseline and after 20 weeks of the intervention. Results of testosterone level and SHBG level will be combined to report FAI index (index of free androgen).
SHBG20 weeksSHBG (nmol/L) concentrations will measured at baseline and after 20 weeks of the intervention. Results of testosterone level and SHBG level will be combined to report FAI index (index of free androgen).
Free androgen index FAI20 weeksResults of testosterone level and SHBG level will be combined to report FAI index (index of free androgen).
Body weight20 weeksBody weight (kg) will be assessment at baseline and after 20 weeks of the intervention.
Body heightBaselineBody height (cm) will be assessment at baseline of the intervention.
Body composition20 weeksFat mass (%), fat free mass (%) will be assessment at baseline and after 20 weeks of the intervention.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Assessment of B-glucuronidase and B-glucosiadase activity20 weeksB-glucuronidase and B-glucosiadase activity in stoolen sample will be assessment at baseline and after 20 weeks of the intervention
Assessment of short-chain fatty acids20 weeksAssessment of short-chain fatty acids will be assessment at baseline and after 20 weeks of the intervention
Assessment of qualitative and quantitative of the microbiome20 weeksQualitative and quantitative determination of the composition of gut microbiota will be assessment at baseline and after 20 weeks of the intervention
