Effects of Flaxseed Supplementation in Metabolic Syndrome
July 13, 2015 updated by: Dr Azita Hekmatdoost, National Nutrition and Food Technology Institute
To evaluate the effects of flaxseed supplementation on fasting blood sugar, lipid profile and anthropocentric measurements in subjects with metabolic syndrome, in a randomized, open-labeled, controlled pilot study, 44 subjects with metabolic syndrome will be received 30g/d flaxseed with lifestyle modification or lifestyle modification alone for 12 weeks.
Both groups will be advised to follow an energy balanced diet and physical activity recommendations.
Parameters related to metabolic syndrome will be measured at the baseline and at the end of the study.
