This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of probiotics for body fat reduction in obese individuals.
A total of 106 participants with a body mass index between 25 and 30 kg/m were randomly assigned to either the experimental group treating with LMT1-48 or the placebo group in the placebo-controlled clinical trial. Body composition was assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and computed tomography. Fecal samples between the groups were contrasted via DNA sequencing for evaluation of the microbiota and its diversity.
After 12 weeks of follow-up period, the body fat mass decreased significantly, from 30.0 ± 4.4 to 28.3 ± 4.1 kg in the experimental group ( = 0.009). The percentage of body fat in the two groups showed a similar trend ( = 0.004).
LMT1-48 also positively influenced the microbial taxa linked to obesity analyzed by gut microbiome sequencing. LMT1-48 is a safe and collaborative agent to reduce obesity.
本研究旨在评估益生菌对肥胖个体减脂的有效性和安全性。
在这项安慰剂对照临床试验中,将106名体重指数在25至30kg/m之间的参与者随机分为接受LMT1 - 48治疗的实验组或安慰剂组。通过双能X线吸收法和计算机断层扫描评估身体成分。通过DNA测序对比两组之间的粪便样本,以评估微生物群及其多样性。
经过12周的随访期,实验组的体脂量显著下降,从30.0±4.4kg降至28.3±4.1kg(P = 0.009)。两组的体脂百分比呈现相似趋势(P = 0.004)。
通过肠道微生物组测序分析,LMT1 - 48对与肥胖相关的微生物分类群也有积极影响。LMT1 - 48是一种安全且有助于减轻肥胖的制剂。
