Nutritional Oleic Acid Modulation of adIpose Cholesterol Metabolism in Patients Living With Obesity
Recruiting now · Not applicable · 1 countries · Registry ID NCT07027033
What this study is about
Disruption of white adipose tissue (WAT) homeostasis during obesity is central to the development of associated cardiometabolic complications. Dietary supplementation with oleic acid in obese patients can limit these complications. Experimental data, obtained in preclinical models, suggest that the beneficial effects of oleic acid may protect the TAB by increasing cholesterol esterification. The NAMICO study aims to test this hypothesis using TAB biopsies collected from obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery who had previously undergone dietary enrichment with either a conventional oil or an oil rich in oleic acid.
Basic eligibility
Full registry criteria
Treatments and study arms
acid-rich sunflower oil oleic acid
Nutritional intervention for 13 weeks ± 2 weeks, including 40 millilitres of sunflower oil rich in oleic acid
conventional sunflower oil
Nutritional intervention for 13 weeks ± 2 weeks, including 40 millilitres of conventional sunflower oil
Primary outcomes
The primary endpoint of the study is to compare the cholesterol esterification rates in adipocytes between the two experimental groups. This is measured by the ratio of esterified cholesterol (EC) to free cholesterol (FC), expressed as a percentage, determined from samples of visceral adipose tissue collected perioperatively after 13 weeks (± 2 week) of the nutritional supplementation under investigation.
