Protocol summary

Study aim
Determining and comparing the effect of probiotic supplementation on the expression of osteoprotegerin and receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa beta ligand genes, serum levels of C- terminal telopeptide of type I collagen, and osteocalcin, anthropometric indices, body composition, quality of life, and gastrointestinal symptoms in people with gastric sleeve surgery
Design
A double-blind randomized controlled trial, phase 3 with 36 patients, randomization with RAND excel function
Settings and conduct
Patients referring to clinics affiliated to Tabriz University of Medical Sciences will be included in the study using easy sampling. Patients will be randomly divided into two groups. The researcher and the patients will be blind.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: obese patients undergoing laparoscopic gastric sleeve operation. Age over 18 years. Willingness to cooperate in the study Exclusion criteria: consumption of antibiotics, probiotic supplements, and/or foods enriched with probiotics. Immunosuppressant treatment before study entry. Infection.
Intervention groups
Supplementation with probiotics (intervention group) and placebo (control group) will be done from the second week after surgery for 12 weeks. The blood sample will be analyzed to evaluate the expression of genes and the serum level of the target markers before and after the intervention. Also, anthropometric information, demographic, quality of life, and digestive symptoms questionnaires will be completed before and after the intervention..
Main outcome variables
Expression of Osteoprotegerin and Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor Kappa Beta Ligand Genes, Serum Levels of C- terminal Telopeptide of Type I Collagen and Osteocalcin, Anthropometric Indices, Body Composition, and Quality of Life

Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
All the cans containing supplements and placebo will be coded with numbers 1 or 2 by someone outside the study, and people will be assigned to one of the groups receiving code 1 or 2 based on the blocks. As a result, the researcher and the patients will be blinded.
