Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Changes in body composition, such as decreasing at least 2 kg of body weight, assessed by electronic weighing-machine and decreasing body fat content, assessed by densitometry by dual energy Xray absorptiometry (DEXA) after 3 months of coconut and olive oil consumption in comparison with soybean oil | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Decrease of intestinal permeability assessed by evaluation of concentrations of urinary lactulose and mannitol and serum lipopolysaccharide. Increased feeling of satiety and reducing food intake, checked by applying visual analog scales (VAS) and 24 hours food records. Increased energy expenditure and the rate of lipid use as energy, verified by the measurement of energy expenditure and oxidation of energy substrates after consumption of breakfasts by open circuit indirect calorimetry. Improvement of blood biomarkers of metabolic syndrome (lipid profile,fasting glucose and insulin, uric acid and ketone bodies, C-reactive protein), systemic inflammation (TNF-alpha, IL-6, IL-1 b, IL-10) and oxidative stress (superoxide dismutase superoxide oxidase, catalase and plasma antioxidant capacity), verified by laboratory techniques involving colorimetric enzymatic methods and/or immunological assays. Change in intestinal microbiota composition, assessed by Fluorescende In Situ Hybridisation method (FISH). Decrease of genetic and molecular markers of fat cells formation and fat accumulation and changes in the form of fat cells checked by Real Time PCR and histochemistry. | — |
