Visceral Adipose Tissue
weeks study
Visceral adipose tissue accumulation is currently an important research target because of its connection to metabolic disturbances, cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. This study illustrates how Atlantia designed and conducted a study to investigate the outcome of probiotics supplementation in body composition and weight management assessed through DXA scans.
The rationale for the current study is to perform a follow-up randomized controlled trial to continue to build the evidence for this probiotic strain in the area of weight management. The sponsors needed a trusted partner able to access to the required study population, with enough expertise to design and conduct a gold-standard trial with probiotics to achieve the following objectives:
• To determine the effect of daily administration of a probiotic strain on Visceral Adipose Tissue (VAT), as well as on other secondary biomarkers and efficacy parameters.
• To determine the effect of a daily administration of a probiotic strain on faecal characteristics.
