Effekten av olika dieter på arteriell stelhet hos överviktiga patienter på Liraglutid

3 november 2026 uppdaterad av: Marlene Chakhtoura, American University of Beirut Medical Center

Effekten av medelhavskost, lågkolhydrat-/högprotein- och lågfettsdiet på arteriell stelhet hos överviktiga patienter på Liraglutid: en randomiserad kontrollerad studie

In patients initiating Semaglutide for weight management, the objective is to compare the effect of the Mediterranean diet and the high protein/low carbohydrate (HP/LC) diet CV parameters, namely arterial stiffness, measured by carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV), and visceral adipose tissue, in addition to other metabolic indicators.

Studieöversikt

Detaljerad beskrivning

This is a 6-month open label pilot RCT that will be conducted on Lebanese subjects with obesity, upon the initiation of Semaglutide for medical weight management, as recommended by their physician. Patients will be randomized to 2 treatment arms: Med diet and HP/LC diet. Med diet will be hypocaloric, allowing the same energy restriction, of 500 Kcal/d, while the HP/LC diet will be ad libitum. Participants will be recruited from the Endocrine clinics at AUB-MC, and from satellite clinic next in Beirut. Brochures and posters of the trial will be available in the clinic waiting areas. Patients of both participating and non-participating physicians will be recruited in the study.

Beskrivning

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Men and premenopausal women, 18-49 years, with obesity defined as BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2
  • Upon the initiation of Semaglutide (within the first 1-4 weeks) for medical weight management, for clinical purposes, as advised by the primary physician
  • Able to commit for a 6-month trial visits

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Pregnant women
  • Patients who are taking or have taken other weight reducing drug therapies in the previous 6 months
  • Patients who have undergone metabolic weight loss surgery
  • Patients known to have diabetes (HbA1c ≥6.5% at screening)
  • Patients with uncontrolled hypertension
  • Patients with uncontrolled cardiac disease, pulmonary, renal or liver diseases, active cancer or psychiatric diseases
  • Patients with excessive alcohol intake, defined as ≥ 2 glasses per day
  • Patients known to have uncontrolled/ untreated thyroid disorders.
  • Patients with cushing disease or polycystic ovaries, and those with neuro-endocrine or drug induced obesity (such as anti-psychotic, steroids, hormonal therapy): Such patients are resistant to weight loss, and they need treatment of their primary disease and/or cessation of the culprit medication to lose weight
  • Patients with untreated gout
  • Patients who have undergone bariatric surgery

Deltagargrupp / Arm
Intervention / Behandling
Experimentell: Mediterranean Diet

30 participants will be randomized to this arm. The intervention consists of 8 visits, over a period of 24 weeks, including 6 individual educational sessions on Mediterranean diet in patients on Semaglutide and 2 reinforcement educational sessions towards the end of the trial. Dietary assessments and adherence questionnaires will be conducted on several visits to assess adherence.

The diet will consist of a calorie-restricted Med diet, with 500 Kcal/d energy restriction. The intervention consists of individual and reinforcement sessions on Med diet. During these sessions, the RA will go over the benefits of Med diet, what composition it should have, and how to make appropriate choices for meal planning, in addition to providing food lists, by season. The individual sessions with subjects will also allow to individualize the diet plan.

Experimentell: High Protein/Low Carbohydrate Diet

30 participants will be randomized to this arm. The intervention consists of 8 visits, over a period of 24 weeks, including 6 individual educational sessions on High Protein/Low Carbohydrate diet in patients on Semaglutide and 2 reinforcement educational sessions towards the end of the trial. Dietary assessments and adherence questionnaires will be conducted on several visits to assess adherence.

This is a non-ketogenic diet consisting of ad libitum intake of proteins, fat, and vegetables, with restriction of daily carbohydrates to <130 g/d. The intervention consists of individual and reinforcement educational sessions on HP/LC, same as with Med diet (above). The individual sessions with subjects will also allow to individualize the diet plan.

Åtgärdsbeskrivning
Tidsram
cfPWV measurement and pulse wave analysis (PWA) using SphygmoCorCvMS V9 (AtCor Medical)
Tidsram: 6 months after enrollment

Measured by an RA or a technician, based on the American Heart Association Council recommendations on arterial stiffness measurement in research. The distance from the suprasternal notch to the carotid pulse, and to the femoral site on the same side will be measured; the former distance is subtracted from the latter one. Ten seconds of carotid and 10 seconds of femoral arterial waveforms will be recorded, and the average of the data will be obtained for each of the sites.
