Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Total body fat loss more than 3.7% evaluated by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, after 45 days of intervention.;Average body fat loss of 4.97 % evaluated by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, after 45 days of intervention.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Increased of at least 10% in the diet-induced energy expenditure, fat oxidation and total energy metabolism evaluated by indirect calorimetry; reduction of at least 5pg/dL of blood PTH measured by electrochemiluminescence method. ;Unexpected significant reduction of approximately 0.6mg/dL in uric acid blood levels by enzumatic colorimetric test in dairy and supplement groups compared to the control group. Other expected secondary outcomes had no significant differences between groups.
