Parallel randomized clinical trial on the effects of citrus aurantium extract on components of metabolic syndrome and markers of endothelial dysfunction among overweight children and adolescents aged 9-18

Protocol summary

Summary
In this triple-masked parallel randomized clinical trial, which will perform to assess the effect of citrus aurantium extract on components of metabolic syndrome and markers of endothelial function, 60 overweight or obese children and adolescents (9-18 years) referring from schools and health centers to child growth and development research center, are randomly selected. Written informed consent will be obtained from parents. Inclusion criteria include age (9-18 years), and body mass index (BMI) above 85th centile for age and sex. Hypothyroidism, medical therapy for dyslipidemia, smoking or exposure to tobacco are considered as exclusion criteria. Demographic and anthropometric characteristics including age, sex, weight, height, waist circumference (WC), and BMI will be recorded. Lipid profile, fasting blood glucose (FBS), blood pressure, intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM), vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM) showing endothelial function will be measured at baseline and end of the study. Participants will randomly assigned to two groups (each group includes 30 subjects), receiving citrus aurantium extract (intervention group) or placebo, corn starch (control group) as 3 capsule/day, respectively. The study will last for one month. Statistical analysis will be conducted using SPSS version 16, Paired t-test, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), and Post-hoc analysis will be used to test significant differences between study groups.
