Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?The overall goal of this study is to verify the safety of 15g of salmon peptide fraction (SPF), and to test the effects on metabolic syndrome risk factors of two doses of SPF (7.5g and 15g) in overweight-obese men and women. Transcriptomic, metabolomic and metagenomic approaches will be used to study the physiological effects of SPF and to discover the potential mechanism underlying these effects.

Eligibility Criteria

This trial is for overweight-obese men and women with a waist size of at least 94 cm for men or 80 cm for women. They must have certain metabolic syndrome risk factors like high triglycerides, blood sugar, HbA1c, or insulin levels but can't be on any related medications. No recent weight loss, surgery, or use of supplements affecting metabolism is allowed.

Inclusion Criteria

My blood tests show high triglycerides, blood sugar, HbA1c, or insulin levels.

Your weight in relation to your height falls within a certain range.

Your waist measurement is 94 centimeters or more if you're a man, or 80 centimeters or more if you're a woman.

Exclusion Criteria

I am on medication for a metabolic disorder.

I have lost more than 5% of my weight in the last 3 months.

You drink more than two alcoholic drinks per day.
