Protocol summary

Study aim
Determining the effect of vitamin D supplementation on insulin resistance, lipid profile, thyroid function indices, and body composition in overweight and obese patients with hypothyroidism and glucose intolerance
Design
A double-blind randomized controlled clinical at phase 3, in which 50 participants using block randomization will be randomly assigned to two groups. Participants in the control group receive vitamin D daily for 12 weeks and the control group uses a placebo in the same order.
Settings and conduct
Fifty patients who were referred to Shahid Mofteh Educational and Medical Polyclinic in Yasouj will be included in the study. After being informed and signing the informed consent form, the demographic characteristics of participants will be recorded. Participants will randomly be allocated to either intervention or control group which are named as A or B, in order to blind both investigators and participants and use relevant treatment based on their allocated groups. Anthropometrics will be assessed at the beginning and after the intervention. Blood samples will also be taken before and after the intervention to measure insulin resistance, thyroid function, and lipid profile.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Overweight and obese individuals aged 20 to 75 years with hypothyroidism and glucose intolerance; and Serum vitamin D less than 30 ng/ml; Exclusion criteria: cancer, kidney, liver, cardiovascular, bone and endocrine disorders other than hypothyroidism and glucose intolerance; taking multivitamins-minerals; being pregnant or in breastfeeding duration
Intervention groups
There are two groups in this study: Intervention group: Receive 4000 IU vitamin D3 supplement daily for 12 weeks. Control group: Receive placebo daily for 12 weeks.
Main outcome variables
Insulin resistance; lipid profile; thyroid function indices, and body composition

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Randomization is done using the block randomization method (1: 1 ratio for intervention and control groups). In this method, blocks of two with a rotation will be created. Then one of these blocks is randomly selected to determine the allocated group for the first and second participants. After that, this random block selection process is repeated to determine the sequence of random allocation until the end of the desired sample size. After determining the randomized sequence, these sequences will be placed in sealed envelopes. The process will be done by an out-of-study person familiar with randomization. Then, when a participant enters the study, an envelope will be opened according to the order and the participant's group will be identified.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
The capsules for the intervention and control group are the same in terms of appearance characteristics such as color, shape, and size. Capsules are named according to the intervention groups with the same names as A and B by someone outside the study who is not aware of the objectives and method of study. Therefore, both the research team and the participant are blinded to receiving the supplement or placebo.
