Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is an exploratory controlled before-after study, which involves 112 participants, of whom 28 are with normal weight and 84 are overweight or obese. Twelve weeks of personalized nutritional and lifestyle weight reduction intervention will be conducted in the overweight or obese participants. The objectives of this study are 1) to characterize energy metabolic responses under acute nutritional challenge and acute exercise challenge, 2) to investigate whether weight-loss intervention can improve metabolic health, and 3) to explore the potential impact factors on heterogenous postprandial and post-intervention energy metabolism.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The objectives of this study are 1) to characterize energy metabolic responses under acute nutritional challenge and acute exercise challenge, 2) to investigate whether weight-loss intervention can improve metabolic health, and 3) to explore the potential impact factors on heterogenous postprandial and post-intervention energy metabolism.

In this study, 84 overweight or obese participants (BMI ≥ 24 kg/m2) and 28 normal weight participants (18.5 ≤ BMI\<24 kg/m2) will be recruited and receive 12-week personalized weight reduction or weight maintenance nutritional and lifestyle interventions. Before and after the 12-week interventions, metabolic homeostasis will be used to characterize metabolic health and to be determined using comprehensive measurements of dynamic changes in postprandial metabolic responses (including energy metabolism, multiple clinical biomarkers, metabolomic signatures, gut microbiota, genetic signatures etc.) after the standardized mixed-nutrient dietary challenges (75 g glucose, 60 g fat and 20 g protein) in whole room indirect calorimeter under both resting and exercise conditions. In addition, data from dietary intake, anthropometric measurements, body composition, psychosocial measures, behavior questionnaires and 14-day continuous glucose monitoring will also be collected to characterize metabolic homeostasis. During the interventions, participants will receive personalized dietary advice, behavior guidance and nutritional and lifestyle education by dietitian and physicians. APP-connected wearable devices will be utilized to monitor their dietary intakes, physical activities and sleep conditions, and an application-connected scale will be used to monitor their weight changes during interventions. The study's protocol has been approved by the Ethics Committee of Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital.
