Supplements for Controlling Resistance to Insulin
キーワード
概要
説明
The prevalence of obesity among youth has increased dramatically in recent years. Parallel to the increased rates of pediatric obesity, overweight children present clinically with adiposity related comorbidities such as insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. The prevailing recommendations for overweight youth are to increase physical activity levels and limit energy intake in order to improve body composition. Currently there is little empirical evidence to support the efficacy of these recommendations. Alternatively, evidence in adults suggests that nutritional supplementation with (-) hydroxycitric acid (HCA), an organic acid found naturally in citrus fruits, and chromium may lead to favorable changes in body composition and improve glucose regulation. To date, these issues have not been tested in youth. Therefore, the purpose of the present investigation is to examine the effects of a nutritional education program combined with either HCA + chromium or placebo on measures of body composition and glucose regulation in overweight adolescents.

| Active Comparator: 1 - nutrition education plus active supplement nutrition education plus active supplement | Drug: 1 - nutrition education plus active supplement After all baseline measures have been completed, participants will be randomly assigned to either the nutrition education + supplement group, or the nutrition education + placebo group. The length of the intervention is twelve weeks. Nutrition classes will take place once a week for 1 1/2 hours. Subjects will be encouraged to increase fiber and decrease sugar intake. They will also be separated into gender-specific classes.
Active and inactive supplements will be identical in appearance and taste. Active supplements will contain 2,700 mgs/day of Super CitriMax (hydroxycitrate)and 400 µg per day of ChromeMate (niacin-bound Chromium). Supplements will be in powder and tablet form, and should be taken 30 minutes prior to each meal. |
