Study information
Scientific title
A clinical trial of the effect of a dietary portfolio (nopal, chia seed, soy protein and oatmeal) on parameters associated with metabolic syndrome
Acronym
SNAC-MS
Study hypothesis
Patients with metabolic syndrome (MS) who use a portfolio-based dietary nopal, chia seed, soy protein and oats have a better response on the biochemical parameters of the SM and the area under the glucose curve and insulin in the test of glucose tolerance, compared with patients who do not consume this portfolio over a period of two months.
Ethics approval
Ethics Committees of the Instituto Nacional de Ciencias Medicas y Nutricion Salvador Zubiran approved on the 19th March 2009 (ref: 1966)

Condition
Metabolic syndrome
Intervention
The patients with metabolic syndrome, once they have met with the selection criteria, will participate in two stages. The first one is to standardise the diet in all patients, so that the members are instructed to consume a diet low in saturated fat, according to ATPIII program and with a reduction in 500 calories to their usual diet for two weeks, the second stage consisted in the assignment treatment (placebo or dietary portfolio). By using a randomised by balanced block by an independent person to study, with duration of two months.
In this stage, the subjects consume the same diet that in the first stage less the calories contained in the dietary portfolio or placebo (250 calories). The subjects had a medical examination every month, and were also attended by the nutrition staff to evaluate the diet with a 24 hours-recall and every third days patients record the daily dietary intake.
The study consisted of four visits during the monitoring period. At the first visit take place a medical history, and glucose and insulin curve with 75g of glucose of 120 minutes. During each visiti 24 hour recall, application of questionnaire physical activity, anthropometry, serum parameters are measured.
