Protocol summary

Study aim
assessing changes in fasting blood sugar, insulin, total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, Homeostasis Model Assessment Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR), and Quantitative Insulin Sensitivity Check Index (QUICKI) after 90 days Oat consumption and adherence to diet in the intervention group compared to the control group.
Design
A parallel-group, open-label, randomized controlled clinical trial of 80 patients. Randomized with stratified randomization based on BMI
Settings and conduct
People referring to a gastroenterology office, and receiving study information, were included in the study. After measuring the height and weight and completing the questionnaires, After blood sampling the diet and if they are in the intervention group, they will receive oats for 6 weeks. In the sixth week, they return to the clinic to receive oats (intervention group), measure their weight, and deliver food records. The study ends in the twelfth week after blood sampling and reweighing. The people who check the blood samples are blinded.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: fatty liver patients over 18 years, liver enzyme between normal up to 2 times the average level, not alcohol consumption, not pregnant and breastfeeding, not suffering from cirrhosis, not following a diet, not Having malignancy and underlying disease, not using insulin, BMI between 25-40 kg/m² Exclusion criteria: unwillingness to consume oats, change in medications.
Intervention groups
The intervention group consumes 50 grams of oats twice a day and follows a diet. In contrast, the control group only follows a diet according to their weight and physical activity.
Main outcome variables
changes in fasting blood sugar, insulin, total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, HOMA-IR, and QUICKI index

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group: For 12 weeks, 50 grams of oat powder should be consumed twice a day (25 grams) with 1 glass of water, milk, and dough. The time to consume oats is morning and evening between meals. Oat powder was prepared by Pakan Bazr Company. Also, people use a diet according to their BMI and physical activity. In order to adjust the diet for each person, the basic energy is calculated based on the Mifflin-St formula. Adjusted Ideal Body Weight (AIBW) is used to calculate a person's energy needs. In the prescribed diet, 50-55% of calories come from carbohydrates, 15-20% of calories come from protein, and 25-30% come from fat.
