Clinical
Weight Loss Trials of Diet Pills
Diet Pills Trial - CLA - Conjugated Linoleic
Acid Trial
To measure the effect of conjugated
linoleic acid supplements after weight loss on body weight regain,
body composition, and resting metabolic rate in overweight subjects.
Purpose of Diet Pills Trial
To study the effects of 13 weeks conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) supplementation
in overweight subjects after weight loss on weight regain, body composition,
resting metabolic rate, substrate oxidation, and blood plasma parameters.
Method
This study had a double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized design. Subjects
were first submitted to a very-low-calorie diet (VLCD) for 3 weeks after
which they started with the 13-week intervention period. They either received
1.8 g CLA or placebo per day (low dosage, LD) or 3.6 g CLA or placebo
per day (high dosage, HD).
Results
The VLCD significantly lowered body weight, body fat percentage, fat mass,
fat-free mass, resting metabolic rate, respiratory quotient and plasma
glucose, insulin, and triacylglycerol concentrations, while free fatty
acids, glycerol and beta-hydroxy butyrate concentrations were increased.
Conclusions of Diet Pills Trial
The regain of fat-free mass was favorably, dose-independently affected
by a 13-week consumption of 1.8 or 3.6 g CLA/day and consequently increased
the resting metabolic rate. However, it did not result in improved body
weight maintenance after weight loss.
