Effect of plant-based foods and (poly)phenol supplementation on gut-microbiota metabolism in participants with overweight or obesity and cardiometabolic risk: a study protocol for a single-blind, parallel and randomised controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Dietary (poly)phenols have beneficial properties that may play a relevant role in the management of overweight/obesity and cardiometabolic risk factors, modulating physiological and molecular pathways involved in energy metabolism, adiposity and gut microbiota-derived metabolites.

Methods and analysis

The Prevention/Precision Diet in Araucanía (PREDIET-ARAC) trial is a randomised, single-blind, parallel arm, placebo-controlled, clinical trial designed to assess the potential health benefits of (poly)phenol intake through either diet or supplementation. The study will evaluate the effectiveness of a healthy plant-based diet (PBD) rich in (poly)phenols compared with (poly)phenol supplementation during a caloric restriction intervention.A total of 99 adults (aged 2
