Detailed Description
Subjects Selection:
For this study we will recruit a total of 100 obese age matched non-diabetic Saudi women, (age 18-40 years; BMI 30-40Kg/m2) through college clinics in applied medical sciences college, KSU. The study participants exclusion criteria in brief: age under 18 or above 40 years, any medical/endocrine problem that could affect energy expenditure (e.g. thyroid problems, Cushing's syndrome); chronic inflammatory disorders like rheumatoid arthritis, or long term use of steroids or other immunomodulatory like cyclosporine, azathioprine; severe depression or any psychiatric illness, claustrophobia or needle phobia.
Sample and Data Collections:
Anthropometry and body composition as well as biochemical data will be undertaken for all visits, including blood, urine and stool collection. Serum will be collected all patients for later analysis. All samples collected will be stored appropriately for biochemical analysis within the Bio-Bank facilities, in the Chair for Biomarkers of Chronic Diseases in King Saud University. All samples will be stored at -80oC following the appropriate protocol extraction methods.
Intervention:
Participants will be randomized to give either Kale (blanched freeze dried Kale) group1 or placebo (Blanched Freeze dried Peas) group2. The supplements will be given as one scoop of powder of (Kale or Green Peas) three times a day for a total of 10g/day. The follow up will be for 6 week intervention. After visit 2 will be washout period for 2 weeks, to study acute and medium effects, followed by a cross-over between the groups.
