Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Both sexes, aged between 35 and 69 years Body mass index between 25 and 40 kg / m2 with at least one of the following criteria: triglycerides above 150 mg/dl; total cholesterol above 230 mg/dL or LDL-C above 100 mg/dl or plasma fasting glucose between 100 and 124 mg/dl.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: live outside the city of São Paulo; pregnant women; patients with neurological problems or severe psychiatric diseases; use of anti-obesity medication; individuals with cancer, communicable and rheumatic diseases, liver or kidney failure, thyroid dysfunction untreated; a change of more than 5% of body weight within the last six months; performing some type of diet or modifications to the usual eating pattern.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Changes in mean LDL plasma cholesterol (mg/dl) of, at least, 10% in relation to baseline values after 4 weeks of "Mediterranized" breakfast and maintenance of values after 4 weeks of Brazilian breakfast.;No differences were observed in plasma LDL cholesterol concentrations before and after "Mediterranized" or Brazilian breakfasts. The values were maintained throughout the study. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Reductions of at least 10% in the concentrations of glucose and triglycerides are expected as well as similar increases in HDL concentrations and 10% reduction in insulin and pro-inflammatory markers (C-reactive protein, adiponectin, interleukin 1 beta, 6, 8:17 , interferon-gamma and monocyte chemoattractant protein 1, alpha tumor necrosis factor, E-selectin, fibrinogen) and the expression of genes after Mediterranized breakfast. It is expected the manteinance of values after Brazilian breakfast. The variables concentrations will be assessed by standard methods: glucose oxidase for glucose, colorimetric-enzymatic method for cholesterol and triglycerides and ELISA kits for insulin and inflammatory markers. Differences will be established by finding reductions or increases of at least 10% compared to pre-intervention values.;After 4 weeks of intervention "Mediterranized" breakfast it was observed a significant increase in HDL concentrations by 5% and reductions in c-reactive protein concentrations, interleukin-8 and monocyte chemoattractant protein by 10%. After Brazilian breakfast there was an increase of at least 25% in markers interleukin 1 beta, 6, 8 and 17 Interferon-Gamma, tumor necrosis factor alpha and selectin. | — |
