Thermic effects of a product on morphological and biochemical parameters related to health: a case study
Abstract
This study aimed to analyze the effects of a thermogenic product on biochemical and morphological parameters of an individual with non-alcoholic hepatic steatosis moderate. Was performed assessment of body composition, glycemic profile, lipid, and inflammatory liver markers. The volunteer had ad libitum diet remained sedentary for eight weeks while ingesting a thermogenic supplement seven days a week. The energy expenditure was estimated using an accelerometer. There was a reduction in FPG: -13.8%; HbA1c: -3.3%, TC: -9.2%, LDL-c: -13.7%, TG: -25.7%; the TGO: -27.9%; of TGP: -35.5% and TNF-α: -7.7%, increased HDL-C: 4.5% and maintenance of IL-6. As for body composition, there were reductions in body weight: -1.2%; fat mass: -7.9%; fat percentage: -5.1%, waist circumference: -1.5% and body mass index: -1.7%. It was observed eight weeks after administration of a product thermogenic improvement in metabolic parameters related to health of the volunteer.
