Brief summary
Randomized, controlled, double-blind clinical trial, with two parallel branches depending on the product consumed (experimental product and placebo product) and single-center, to measure the efficacy of a supplement extracted from Persimmon on overweight and obesity grade I in subjects with BMI over 25.
Detailed description
The product to be consumed is a supplement extracted from the Persimmon. Participants will consume the product for 84 days. They will take one capsule before the two main meals. Subjects will have to make 3 visits to the laboratory. In the initial visit it will be verified if the subject meets the criteria required by the study. Subjects who meet the selection criteria will be randomly assigned to each of the study groups (investigational product or placebo, depending on the group to which they have been assigned). In the other two visits, the subjects will carry out the appropriate tests for taking of data colletion. These visits will be separated by 84 days of product consumption.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Total fat mass | From baseline to 84 days | Dual X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), measured in grams. |
| Fat mass in torso | From baseline to 84 days | Dual X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), measured in grams. |
| Fat mass in lower limbs | From baseline to 84 days | Dual X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), measured in grams. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Waist-hip perimeter | A record of body composition will be made twotimes during the 84 days of consumption. Measures will be taken at baseline, and at 84 days. For this we will use a TANITA. | The waist and hips will be measured, in centimeters. |
| Lipidic Metabolism | Blood samples will be taken twice, once at baseline, at the beginning of the trial and once at the end after 84 days of product intake. | Total cholesterol, LDL, oxidized LDL, HDL, and triglycerides. Will be measured in milligrams per deciliter. |
| Glycidic profile | Blood samples will be taken twice, once at baseline, at the beginning of the trial and once at the end after 84 days of product intake. | Blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin and basal insulin. It was measured in milligrams per deciliter. |
| Quality of life in people with obesity | The questionnaire will be carried out twice. The first time at the beginning and the second after carrying out 84 days of consumption of the product under study. | Assessed using the Obesity and Quality of Life Consulting test (IWQol-Lite) |
| Total antioxidant capacity of plasma | Blood samples will be taken twice, once at baseline, at the beginning of the trial and once at the end after 84 days of product intake. | It will be done through the OxiSelect Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAC) Assay Kit |
| Fat mass | A record of body composition will be made twotimes during the 84 days of consumption. Measures will be taken at baseline, and at 84 days. For this we will use a TANITA. | body composition measured by bioimpedancemetry |
| Inflammatory profile - IL-6 | Blood samples will be taken twice, once at baseline, at the beginning of the trial and once at the end after 84 days of product intake. | Interlucin 6 will be measured |
| Gut microbiota | Stool collection will be performed twice on subjects. The first time at the beginning and the second after 84 days of consumption of the product under study. | Evaluated with stool sample |
| Physical activity | An accelerometer will be placed twice on the subjects. The first time at baseline and the second after taking 84 days of consumption of the product under study | Measured with Actigraph wGT3X-BT |
| Nutritional assessment | The food recall will be performed twice on the subjects. The first time at the beginning and the second after carrying out 84 days of consumption of the product under study. In each one a total of 7 days will be collected. | 24-hour recall food survey. |
| Liver safety variables | Hematological samples were taken before (day 0) and after consumption of the product (day 84) both in the control group and in the experimental group. | It is a blood test that measures the presence of some enzymes, proteins and bilirubin in the blood, with the aim of determining if there is any alteration in the liver. Enzyme GPT, GOT, Gamma GT, LDH, alkaline phosphatase and bilirubin (UI/L) |
| Inflammatory profile - PCR | Blood samples will be taken twice, once at baseline, at the beginning of the trial and once at the end after 84 days of product intake. | C-Reactive Protein will be measured |
| Muscle mass | A record of body composition will be made twotimes during the 84 days of consumption. Measures will be taken at baseline, and at 84 days. For this we will use a TANITA. | body composition measured by bioimpedancemetry |
| Percentage of fat mass | A record of body composition will be made twotimes during the 84 days of consumption. Measures will be taken at baseline, and at 84 days. For this we will use a TANITA. | body composition measured by bioimpedancemetry |
