Protocol summary

Study aim
Determination of the effects of sodium butyrate supplementation on the atherogenic index of plasma(AIP), serum levels of hsCRP, the expression levels of adiponectin receptors(AdipoR1& R2), uncoupling proteins(UCP2&3) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) genes in Obese individuals
Design
A clinical trial with the control group, with parallel groups, triple-blind, randomized, phase 2 on 50 patients. For randomization, block design is used.
Settings and conduct
Referred to Nutrition Faculty of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences in 2021, selection of 50 patients based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, randomization into intervention and control groups. Blinding of patients and researchers, coding by a third party who does not know the details.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
body mass index 30 to 40, both females and males, age between 18 to 60 years Non-inclusion criteria: unwillingness to continue the study, kidney diseases, liver failure, heart failure, rheumatic diseases, diabetes, malignancies, and gastrointestinal diseases, taking any supplements, taking weight-loss drugs and following a weight loss diet, history of obesity surgery, smoking, pregnancy, lactation, menopause
Intervention groups
The intervention group: one butyrate capsule of 600mg/day (made by Body Bio company, USA, containing 550 mg of butyrate and 50 mg sodium hydroxide, medium-chain triglycerides (MCT), hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, and purified water) for 60 days. The control group: one placebo capsule of 600 mg/day (compounds similar to supplement except for butyrate) for 60 days
Main outcome variables
ََAtherogenic index of plasma(AIP), serum levels of hsCRP, expression levels of adiponectin receptors(AdipoR1& R2), uncoupling proteins(UCP2&3) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα)

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Based on inclusion criteria, 50 patients will randomly allocated to placebo (n = 25) or intervention (n = 25) groups. Block design based on the combined analysis and using random allocation software(RAS)is used for randomization. In fact, according to the pattern and using two codes of A and B 6 groups with 4 blocks are selected. This work is repeated in 2 steps. In the end, two A and B codes are assigned to the 2 last patients and the randomization iscompleted (50 patients).
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Triple blinded
Blinding description
The researchers and patients will not inform of the contents of the packets. A third person of health care does the coding. This person will not aware of the details of the research trial.
