Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Control group
Dietary treatment with a calorie restriction of 30 % the subject's energy expenditure at baseline + placebos supplements
Double blind dietary intervention with EPA and lipoic acid
Placebo-controlled dietary intervention during 10 weeks. All groups will have a dietary treatment with a calorie restriction of 30 % the subject's energy expenditure at baseline, supplemented with eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and/or lipoic acid (LA).
EPA group
Dietary treatment with a calorie restriction of 30 % the subject's energy expenditure at baseline + EPA (1.3 g/day, 3 capsules of 433 mg/day) supplement (EPA Group).
Double blind dietary intervention with EPA and lipoic acid
Placebo-controlled dietary intervention during 10 weeks. All groups will have a dietary treatment with a calorie restriction of 30 % the subject's energy expenditure at baseline, supplemented with eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and/or lipoic acid (LA).
Lipoic acid group
Dietary treatment with a calorie restriction of 30 % the subject's energy expenditure at baseline + LA (300 mg/day, 3 capsules of 100 mg/day) supplement (LA Group)
Double blind dietary intervention with EPA and lipoic acid
Placebo-controlled dietary intervention during 10 weeks. All groups will have a dietary treatment with a calorie restriction of 30 % the subject's energy expenditure at baseline, supplemented with eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and/or lipoic acid (LA).
EPA+LA group
Dietary treatment with a calorie restriction of 30 % the subject's energy expenditure at baseline + EPA/LA (1.3 g /day and 300 mg/day respectively).
Double blind dietary intervention with EPA and lipoic acid
Placebo-controlled dietary intervention during 10 weeks. All groups will have a dietary treatment with a calorie restriction of 30 % the subject's energy expenditure at baseline, supplemented with eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and/or lipoic acid (LA).
