About this study

Official title: Effect of the Consumption of an Enriched Surimi in Abdominal Visceral Adiposity. Randomized, Controlled, Parallel and Double-blind Study

The finding that the combination of the inactivated probiotic Bifidobacterium Lactis (BPL1), inulin as a source of soluble fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), in a surimi matrix has positive effects on visceral adiposity , insulin resistance and plasma tryclycerides in a preclinical model of rats that present obesity induced by diet is the basis of the present hypothesis. This finding is based on the fact that these three bioactive compounds exert these effects through sensibly different and complementary mechanisms, which suggests that their combined use may have synergistic effects.

On this basis the present hypothesis is posed: the consumption of surimi enriched with inactivated probiotic BPL1, inulin and omega-3 fatty acids, in the same doses that have been effective in obese rats (SIAP), can induce a reduction of more than 5% of visceral adipose tissue, being clinically relevant in people with abdominal obesity.

If the effect on abdominal obesity is associated or not with a lower glycemia and / or absorption of fats induced by the consumption of surimi can be evaluated by monitoring these parameters for 4 hours after the ingestion of a breakfast high in fat.

The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of the consumption of surimi enriched with the probiotic BPL1, inulin and omega-3 fatty acids, on visceral abdominal adiposity in people with abdominal obesity.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Surimi interventionCombination product

    The bioactive compounds used to obtain the surimi product are:

    • Inulin (3.4 grams per 100 grams of surimi, 1.7 grams per 50 grams of surimi): Obtained from Chicory originating in Europe.
    • EPA + DHA (740 mg per 100 g of surimi, therefore 370 mg per 50 g): Obtained from sardine and anchovy fish oil, encapsulated in tilapia gelatine, originating in the United States.
    • Probiotic BPL1

    It was a 3 months nutritional intervention. Volunteers will eat 50g per day of enriched surimi.

  • PlaceboCombination product

    Conventional surimi

    It was a 3 months nutritional intervention. Volunteers will eat 50g per day of conventional surimi.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Changes in abdominal visceral fat (measured in mm2)

    measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), transverse body scan in one axial slice 5 cm over L5-S1.

    Measured: 12 weeks, week 1 and week 12

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Changes in parameters of body composition (weight, measured in kg)

    Trained dieticians measure weight using a body composition analyzer (Tanita SC 330-S; Tanita Corp., Barcelona, Spain).

    Measured: 12 weeks, week 1 and week 12

  2. Changes in parameters of body composition (height, measured in meters)

    Trained dieticians measure height using a well mounted stadiometer (Tanita Leicester Portable; Tanita Corp., Barcelona, Spain)

    Measured: 12 weeks, week 1

  3. Changes in parameters of body composition (BMI)

    Body mass index (BMI) is calculated as the ratio between measured weight (kg)/and the square of height (m).

    Measured: 12 weeks, week 1 and week 12

  4. Changes in parameters of body composition (waist circumference, measured in centimeters)

    Waist circumference (WC) is measured at the umbilicus using a 150 cm anthropometric steel measuring tape.

    Measured: 12 weeks, week 1 and week 12

  5. Changes in blood pressure (measured in mmHg)

    Systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP) are measured twice after 2-5 minutes of patient respite, seated, with one-minute interval in between, using an automatic sphygmomanometer (OMRON HEM-907; Peroxfarma, Barcelona, Spain).

    Measured: 12 weeks, week 1 and week 12

  6. Changes in plasmatic parameters (glucose, total cholesterol, LDL and HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, non-esterified fatty acids, Apo B100, Apo A1 and Insulin, measured in mg/dL)

    Serum lipids and apolipoproteins, non-esterified fatty acids, glucose, and insulin concentrations are measured in serum by standardized enzymatic automated methods in an autoanalyzer (Beckman Coulter-Synchron, Galway, Ireland). LDL-c is calculated by the Friedewald formula.

    Measured: 12 weeks, week 1 and week 12

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Surimi intervention in people with Obesity, Abdominal, run by Technological Centre of Nutrition and Health, Spain at 1 site in Spain.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 17 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Mar 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Spain. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Changes in abdominal visceral fat (measured in mm2) (time frame: 12 weeks, week 1 and week 12). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03630588, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Mar 2022.
