Effect of Triticum Aestivum vs Placebo on Metabolic Profile Components and Insulin Sensitivity in Patients With Obesity
36 patients around the world
Available in Mexico
A double-blind clinical trial is proposed, with two parallel groups, with random
assignment and group control. The universe of the sample will be patients with a
diagnosis of obesity, residents of the Guadalajara Metropolitan Area, who agree to
participate by signing informed consent and can go to the Biomedical Unit 02 of the
Mexican Institute of Social Security. A total of 36 patients will be followed, which will
be distributed as follows: 1) A group of 18 patients with a diagnosis of obesity without
pharmacological or emergency treatment, who will receive 500 mg of triticum aestivum
orally every 12 hours for 120 days, and 2) A group of 18 patients diagnosed with obesity
without pharmacological or surgical treatment, who will receive 500 mg of placebo
(calcined magnesia) orally every 12 days for 120 days.
