Protocol summary

Study aim
Determination of the effects of synbiotic supplementation on anthropometric indices, body composition, lipid profile, total antioxidant capacity and malondialdehyde in patient with metabolic syndrome
Design
A randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind parallel-group clinical trial. Fourty eight participants will be randomly allocated to two groups, one group receives synbiotic (n = 24) and another group receives placebo (n = 24).
Settings and conduct
individuals with metabolic syndrome will be recruited from Isfahan Endocrine & Metabolism Research Center (IEMRC), Isfahan, Iran.The synbiotic supplements and placebos will be packed in similar boxes, and the researcher and the patients will not be aware of the content of the pack until the end of the study.

Intervention groups
Individuals will be divided into two groups to receive two 500 mg synbiotic capsules or two 500 mg placebo capsules per day for 8 weeks.
Main outcome variables
