Study of the Effects of Time-Restricted Feeding on the Immune Function of Individuals With Obesity
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Time-restrictred feeding: Time-restricted feeding pattern consisting of an 8 h eating window (from 6-8 am to 14-16 pm) followed by a 16 h fasting period
Non-time restricted feeding: 14h eating window (from 6-8 am to 8-10 pm), followed by a 10 h fasting period
Study summary
The goal of this randomized trial is to: 1) investigate the immunological landscape of patients with obesity and conduct an in-depth functional characterization of their immune system; and 2) precisely define the effects of time-restricted feeding (TRF) on immune function in patients with obesity; 3) uncover the underlying mechanisms by which TRF modulates the immune system patients with obesity through a multi-omics approach.
The main questions it aims to answer are: i) what is the underlying cause of impaired immunocompetence in patients with obesity? ii) how nutritional interventions improve the immune function of patients with obesity? Patients with obesity following TRF (8 h eating window ranging from 6-8 am to 14-16 pm) will be compared to patients with obesity without TRF control schedule (14h eating window ranging from 6-8 am to 8-10 pm). In addition to patients with obesity, the present study aims to recruit a group of a reference healthy group (BMI between 18.5-24.9 kg/m²) that will not receive any nutritional intervention.
The following endpoints will be collected: Body weight and composition using Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis, resting energy expenditure (REE) using indirect calorimetry, blood glucose levels using a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) device, metabolic parameters (fasting blood glucose levels, C-peptide, HbA1c, insulin, HOMA-IR, total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, hepatic enzymes), and cytokine profile.
Blood and stool, samples will be collected to establish metagenomic, transcriptomic, cytomic and metabolomic analyses.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Level of inflammatory cytokine IL-1β — 10 weeks
The mean difference in inflammatory cytokine IL-1β in patients with obesity after 10 weeks under TRF versus patients with obesity without TRF.
