About this study

It is well known that steam onion have benefit effects on controlling the blood sugar, triacylglycerol (TG) and total cholesterol (TC). In this study, the jeju steam onion examined whether it has beneficial effects on reducing body fat of overweight or obesity subjects.

Read the detailed description

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial was conducted to verify the effects of jeju steam onion. Fifty-six healthy male and female subjects aged 20-65 years with normal body weight [25.0 kg/㎡ ≤ body mass index (BMI) < 30.0 kg/㎡] were recruited. The basic framework of the present study was based on a previous study. A 12-week (at each visit; screening, 6-week, 12-week), placebo-controlled, randomized study was conducted with overweight subjects (25.0 kg/㎡ ≤ BMI < 30 kg/㎡). Subjects participants were divided into two group: either Jeju steaming onion or matching placebo (the baked barley powder). Randomization was achieved by computer generated block randomization (placebo : test = 1 : 1).

What is being measured

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

  1. Change from baseline fat mass at 12-week.

    The body composition of the study participants was measured via dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) to determine

    Measured: at baseline and 12-week follow-up

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Change from baseline fat percentage at 12-week.

    The body composition of the study participants was measured via dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) to determine

    Measured: at baseline and 12-week follow-up

  2. Change from baseline lean body mass at 12-week.

    The body composition of the study participants was measured via dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) to determine
