About this study

Official title: Beneficial Effects of Resemena Diet on Anthropometric, Metabolic and Reproductive Profile in Adolescents With Obesity and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: a Randomized Controlled Intervention Study

This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of the MEtabolic Syndrome REduction in NAvarra (RESMENA) diet versus a control diet based on American Heart Association (AHA) recommendations for the treatment of PCOS in adolescents with obesity and PCOS. A total of 40 adolescents diagnosed with PCOS between the ages of 13-18 years were randomized to either a Resmena or control diet for 6 months. Dietary status, anthropometry, body composition, biochemical parameters, and reproductive endocrine hormones were compared between the 2 groups before and after the intervention.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a high meal frequency, low carbohydrate, high protein, high n-3 PUFA, healthy fatty acid and antioxidant content, low glycemic load Resmena diet or a control diet based on AHA recommendations on anthropometric measurements, body composition, insulin resistance, lipid metabolism levels, inflammatory markers and reproductive endocrine levels in adolescents with obesity and PCOS..Randomized controlled study design was used in the study. Patients in the study were allocated to the control and study intervention groups. Participants were invited to face-to-face interviews at the beginning of the study and monthly for 6 months.

Anthropometric measurements, body composition analysis, and a physical activity questionnaire were performed at the beginning and end of the study, and three-day food consumption records and blood samples for the measurement of biochemical parameters were collected. In addition, the physical activity and food consumption records of the participants were repeated in monthly controls and their anthropometric measurements and body composition were analyzed and compared.

What participants receive

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

  • intervention dietBehavioural

    The Resmena diet: It was characterized by a higher meal frequency, consisting of seven meals/d (including breakfast, lunch, dinner, and two snacks in the morning and two snacks in the afternoon), and by a different macronutrient distribution; 40% total energy value from CHO, 30% from proteins and 30% from lipids. This pattern tried to reinforce high n-3 polyunsaturated FA (n-3 PUFA) and high natural antioxidant food consumption and promoted low GL CHO intake as well as a high adherence to the Mediterranean diet. It also maintained a healthy FA profile and a cholesterol content of less than 300 mg/day.

    • Daily meal plans were created according to the energy intake of the participants and sent to the participants via social media every week. Participants were asked to keep 3-day diet records to evaluate their compliance with the diet and were invited to the research center once a month to be checked.
  • control dietBehavioural

    Control diet: It was based on the American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines, including 3-5 meals per day, a macronutrient distribution of 55% total energy value from carbohydrates, 15% proteins, and 30% lipids, a healthy fatty acids (FA) profile and a cholesterol consumption lower than 300 mg/day.

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 3 inclusion and 10 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 14 Mar 2023. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

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?

Luteinizing hormone (LH) (IU/L) (time frame: change between the first day and the sixth month of the study). The study lists 14 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 14 Mar 2023.
