About this study

Official title: Effects of Soy Peptide and Conjugated Linoleic Acid on Body Composition: a Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled Clinical Trial

Soybean peptides are a mixture of active peptides obtained from the hydrolysis of soybean protein, which have biological activities such as antioxidant, blood pressure lowering, anti-fatigue and lipid lowering, etc. They can regulate food intake, increase satiety, and reduce fat body ratio by reducing cholesterol and triglyceride content and stimulating CCK secretion.Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a set of linoleic acid with conjugated unsaturated double bond, the location and structure of the isomers have been approved by the ministry of health in China as a new resource food , widely used in areas such as health care products, functional foods and food additives, animal experiments showed that it has reduce tumor, atherosclerosis, obesity risk.Therefore, in this study, the effect of conjugated linoleic acid combined with soybean peptide on overweight and obese people was investigated in a randomized controlled manner.

Read the detailed description

Aim 1: To test the effects of combined supplementation of soybean peptide and conjugated linoleic acid on body fat, liver fat and muscle content of overweight and obese people;Aim 2: To test the effects of combined supplementation of soybean peptide and conjugated linoleic acid on blood lipid, blood glucose, fat or inflammatory factors in overweight and obese people; Aim 3: Test the impact of the above interventions on safety indicators (safety indicators: liver and kidney function, self-reported adverse reactions or diseases). Aim 4: To provide scientific basis for the development of functional food for weight loss and muscle gain.The public health significance of this research is that find a new functional food for weight loss and muscle gain.

What is being measured

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

  1. Liver fat content

    Liver fat content will be measured by magnetic resonance (MR) which will be evaluated for change over the course of liver fat content.

    Baseline: Evaluate the initial fat content of the subjects; 24weeks: Evaluate whether the fat content of the subjects changes after the intervention.

    Measured: Baseline & 24weeks

  2. Fat and thin tissue

    Body fat percentage will be screened with DXA apparatus.Assess the patient's physical condition.

    Baseline: Evaluate the body composition of the subjects to see whether they meet the inclusion criteria; 12 weeks: After 3 months of intervention, If the percentage of fat is lower than the baseline, the body composition is improved, if the proportion of fat increased by more than 5%, the test should be stopped in time.

    24 weeks: Evaluate the improvement of body composition before and after the intervention. If the percentage of fat is lower than the baseline, the body composition is improved.

    Baseline: Evaluate the body composition of the subjects to see whether they meet the inclusion criteria; 12 weeks: After 3 months of intervention, the subjects will be evaluated for weight improvement.If the proportion of fat; 24 weeks: Evaluate the improvement of body composition before and after the intervention.

    Measured: Baseline & 12 weeks & 24weeks

  3. Adipocytokine

    Adipocytokines will be detected by biochemical experiments to reveal the possible pathways of action of soybean peptides and conjugated linoleic acid.

    Baseline: Evaluate the levels of adipocytokines (such as leptin and adiponectin) before intervention; 24 weeks: Evaluate the levels of adipocytokines (such as leptin and adiponectin) after intervention, If the serum leptin and adiponectin levels change, it can provide a new idea for the combined weight loss mechanism of soybean peptide and conjugated linoleic acid.

    Measured: Baseline & 24weeks

  4. Inflammatory factor index

    Inflammatory factor index will be detected by biochemical experiments to reveal the possible pathways of action of soybean peptides and conjugated linoleic acid.

    Baseline: Evaluate the levels of inflammatory factors (such CRP, IL-6) before intervention; 24weeks: Evaluate the levels of inflammatory factors after intervention, If the levels of inflammatory factors change, it suggests that soy peptides and conjugated acid oil may achieve weight loss through inflammatory pathway.

    Measured: Baseline & 24weeks

  5. Blood fat

    Blood fat inde(such as TG, TC) will be detected by biochemical examination. Baseline: assess the physical condition of subjects to determine whether they meet the criteria for inclusion; 12 weeks: Evaluate the levels of TG, TC after three-months intervention, If there is a significant increase in Blood fat, the experiment should be stopped in time; 24 weeks: Evaluate the effect of lowering blood lipid of the subjects.

    Measured: Baseline & 12 weeks & 24weeks

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Liver function

    Liver function(such as AST, ALT) will be detected by biochemical examination.It is safety index to assess physical condition.

    Baseline: Assess whether the liver function of the subjects is normal; 12 weeks: After 3 months intervation, assess the change in liver function, If the liver function is damaged, the experiment should be terminated in time.

    24 weeks: After intervation, assess the change in liver function.

    Measured: Baseline & 12 weeks & 24weeks

  2. Food recording

    3-d dietary records will be used for food recording. Used to assess the subjects' other energy intake. The heading includes food type, cooking style and consumption amount.

    Measured: Baseline & 12 weeks & 24weeks

  3. Wechat steps

    Record the 3-day wechat steps in kilograms to assess basic movement situation.

    Measured: Baseline & 12 weeks & 24weeks

  4. Sitting time

    Record the 3-day sitting time in hours to evaluate the sedentary situation of subjects every day.

    Measured: Baseline & 12 weeks & 24weeks

  5. Regular sport recording

    Record the 3-day regular movement, including the name and duration of movements on that day.(e.g., swimming, two hours)

    Measured: Baseline & 12 weeks & 24weeks

  6. Kidney function

    Kidney function(such as Urea, creatinine) will be detected by biochemical examination.It is safety index to assess physical condition.

    Baseline: Assess whether the kidney function of the subjects is normal; 12 weeks: After 3 months intervation, assess the change in kidney function, If the kidney function is damaged, the experiment should be terminated in time.

    24 weeks: After intervation, assess the change in kidney function.

    Measured: Baseline & 12 weeks & 24weeks
