Protocol summary

Study aim
The assessment of the effect of supplementation with Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus fermentum, and Lactobacillus plantarum on anthropometric indices, appetite, and serum level of Nesfatin, Omentin-1, LPS, liver function markers, metabolic parameters, oxidative stress, and inflammatory biomarkers in obese individuals
Design
A clinical trial with control group and four parallel groups of 25 obese people, randomized and triple blinded
Settings and conduct
Those who refer to Fardis Karaj laboratory are invited to participate in this study if they have the conditions to participate in the study and are willing to cooperate. People who signed the informed consent were randomly divided into the four mentioned groups. The supplements are prepared in the form of 1 gram powder sachets with similar packaging (for blinding) and with codes A to D, and people are requested to take 1 gram sachet daily before meals (mixed with water) for 2 Consume moon. At the beginning and end of the intervention, fasting blood sampling is done to determine the serum levels of the following biochemical variables in the amount of 6 cc.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Volunteer Obese people in the range of body mass index( 30≤BMI ≤ 40) aged 18-60 years. Exclusion criteria: Allergy to probiotics; Having Diabetes, kidney disease, liver disease, and Thyroid disorders; Having a special diet to treat obesity in the last three months; Taking corticosteroids and/ or antibiotics; Regular Consumption of probiotics and/or nutritional supplements; Gastric surgery; pregnancy or lactation; Smoking and or drinking alcohol.
Intervention groups
Group1:Probiotic supplementation containing Lactobacillus fermentum (NCBI MT registration code 994667) Group2: Probiotic supplementation containing Lactobacillus rhamnosus (NCBI MT registration code 995144) Group3: Probiotic supplementation containing Lactobacillus plantarum (NCBI MT 012188) Control group: Placebo as pure maltodextrin
Main outcome variables
Changes of anthropometric measurements, appetite, serum levels of nesfatin, omentin, Lipopolysaccharide (LPS,) metabolic markers, oxidative stress, and inflammatory marker

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Block randomization method with non-matched block size will be studied. For this purpose, a list of the order of allocation of samples by the second (non-original) researcher and using the software provided on the website https://www.sealedenvelope.com. Prepared and the size of the blocks will be two, four and six.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Triple blinded
Blinding description
After randomization, intervention groups 1 to 3 received powdered sachets containing isolated probiotics Lactobacillus rhamnus, fermentum, and plantarum, respectively, and group 4 received sachets containing maltodextrin as 1 sachet daily before the meal for 60 days. Sachets related to each group were prepared in similar and same-colored packages and provided to them monthly. For further blinding, the packaging of supplements and their coding (A-D) were done by someone outside of the project and other than the main researchers. The patient, doctors, statistical analyst, and the main researcher did not know those codes. After completing the study, the codes will be decoded.
