Assessment of the Effects and Safety of Spermidine Supplementation on Blood Lipids and Body Weight in Overweight or Obese Individuals With Hyperlipidemia: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial

Evaluate the effect of spermidine supplementation on lipid profile changes in individuals with overweight or obesity accompanied by hyperlipidemia. Analyze the impact of spermidine on metabolic parameters and assess the safety of spermidine supplementation, including liver and kidney function, gastrointestinal reactions, and other adverse effects.

Detaillierte Beschreibung

This is a single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of spermidine supplementation in overweight or obese adults with hyperlipidemia.

A total of 50 eligible participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either the experimental group (spermidine capsule 10 mg/day) or the control group (placebo capsule, identical in appearance, packaging, and taste). Randomization will be performed by a third-party statistician using a computer-generated random number table with variable block sizes. Allocation concealment will be ensured through sequentially numbered, opaque, sealed envelopes. All outcome assessors, investigators, and participants will be blinded to group assignment throughout the study.

The intervention period lasts 1 month. Participants in the experimental group will take 2 capsules (10 mg total) of spermidine (extracted from North American high-selenium wheat germ, 100:1 concentration process) orally per day after breakfast. The placebo group will receive an identical regimen of microcrystalline cellulose capsules. During the trial, all participants will receive standardized dietary advice designed to avoid high-polyamine foods (e.g., natto, fermented soy products, mushroom, germ products) and maintain stable total energy intake without overeating. They will also be advised to avoid new nutritional supplements and any other weight-loss interventions. Weekly telephone follow-ups will monitor compliance and dietary/exercise logs. Compliance will be assessed by pill counts of returned capsules, with <80% adherence defined as protocol deviation.

Assessments are scheduled at baseline (Day 0) and at study end (Month 1). Baseline evaluations include anthropometric measurements, blood biochemistry, stool sample collection, and questionnaire assessments. At Month 1, all baseline measurements will be repeated, and adverse events will be recorded and assessed for causality using the Naranjo scale. Safety monitoring includes liver and kidney function tests and documentation of gastrointestinal or other adverse reactions throughout the trial.

Primary outcome is the change in triglycerides (TG) from baseline to 1 month. Secondary outcomes include changes in LDL, total cholesterol, weight, BMI, body fat percentage, waist-to-hip ratio, fasting glucose, liver/kidney function parameters, and adverse event rates. Statistical analyses will follow the intention-to-treat principle using SAS 9.4. Primary analysis will employ two independent sample t-tests or Mann-Whitney U tests for between-group comparisons.

Waffen und Interventionen

Teilnehmergruppe / Arm
Intervention / Behandlung
Experimental: Trial group (spermidine)
Spermidine capsules 10 mg/day
Spermidine (10 mg/day) administered as two oral capsules taken after breakfast. The spermidine is extracted from North American high-selenium wheat germ using a 100:1 concentration process. Each capsule contains 5 mg of spermidine, with a total daily dose of 10 mg. The intervention duration is 1 month.
Placebo-Komparator: Control group (placebo)
Placebo 10 mg/day
Placebo capsules are identical in appearance, color, size, packaging, and taste to the spermidine capsules. Each capsule is filled with microcrystalline cellulose and contains no active ingredients. Participants will take two placebo capsules orally after breakfast daily for a duration of 1 month. The placebo is packaged and blinded by an independent pharmacy according to a randomization code to ensure double-blind implementation.

Was misst die Studie?

Primäre Ergebnismessungen

Ergebnis Maßnahme
Maßnahmenbeschreibung
Zeitfenster
Triglycerides (TG)
Zeitfenster: Baseline and 1 month post-treatment
Change in fasting serum triglycerides (TG) from baseline (Day 0) to the end of the 1-month intervention period. Blood samples are collected after an overnight fast and analyzed using standard enzymatic methods. TG level is measured in mmol/L. This is the primary efficacy outcome of the study.

Sekundäre Ergebnismessungen

Ergebnis Maßnahme
Maßnahmenbeschreibung
Zeitfenster
Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire - Revised 21-item(TFEQ-R21)
Zeitfenster: Baseline and 1 month post-treatment
The Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire-Revised 21-item (TFEQ-R21) is a validated instrument assessing eating behaviors across three domains: cognitive restraint, uncontrolled eating, and emotional eating. The questionnaire consists of 21 items scored on a 4-point Likert scale, yielding a total score ranging from 21 to 84, or standardized scores from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate greater levels of the respective eating behavior, with higher uncontrolled and emotional eating scores reflecting more dysfunctional eating patterns.
Baseline and 1 month post-treatment
Alanine Aminotransferase
Zeitfenster: Baseline and 1 month post-treatment
Change in serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels from baseline (Day 0) to 1 month post-treatment (Month 1). Blood samples are collected after an overnight fast and analyzed using standard enzymatic methods. ALT is measured in U/L and serves as a safety indicator of liver function.
Baseline and 1 month post-treatment
Fasting Blood Glucose
Zeitfenster: Baseline and 1 month post-treatment
Change in fasting blood glucose levels from baseline (Day 0) to 1 month post-treatment (Month 1). Blood samples are collected after an overnight fast and analyzed using standard glucose oxidase or hexokinase methods. Fasting blood glucose is measured in mmol/L.
