About this study
Official title: Longitudinal Profiling of Gut Microbiome in Overweight or Obese Participants on a Modified Atkins Diet: a Prospective Cohort Study
The aim of the study is to investigate dynamic changes in biochemical metabolism, gut microbiome and its metabolites among overweight and obese participants while they are on a modified Atkins Diets.
Read the detailed description
The mechanisms of obesity are complex, involved in genes, environment, life style, and systemic and adipose tissue inflammation. Dysbiosis of gut microbiome is considered to make a difference in obesity. On the other hand, both long-term and short-term dietary interventions can induce changes in the body composition and structure and function of gut microbiome. However, it is not really clear how gut microbiome changes along with weight loss in overweight or obese.
In the present study, investigators aim to characterize the gut microbiome among overweight or obese participants on a modified Atkins diets. The stool and blood samples were collected by an interval of every 5% and 10% of weight loss, respectively. Data collecting mainly covers: 1) body composition analysis ; 2) obesity related biochemical metabolism; 3) measurement of gut microbiome using metagenome and 16S rRNA sequencing techniques; 4) metabolomics of serum and gut microbiome; 5) measurement of physical activity and diets using questionnaires.

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| weight loss group | Dynamic changes in body composition, biochemical metabolomics and gut microbiome will be reported among overweight and obese patients. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Dynamic changes of gut microbiome
The stool sample will be collected by an interval of each 5% weight loss that participants experienced. Fecal microbiota will be analyzed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing technique.
Measured: 36 months
Dynamic changes in faecal metabolomics
For participants achieving each 10% weight loss, targeting metabonomics will be applied to identify the abundances of faecal metabolites (e.g. short-chain fatty acids, amino acids and carbohyrates) using validated mass spectrometry methods.
Measured: 36 months
Secondary outcomes (7)
Dynamic changes of body mass index
Weight and height will be combined to report BMI in kg/m^2.
Measured: 36 months
Dynamic changes of body fat
As a body composition parameter, body fat will be analyzed by body composition automatic analyzer for each participant every 10-20 days.
Measured: 36 months
Dynamic changes of muscle mass
Muscle mass will be analyzed by body composition automatic analyzer for each participant every 10-20 days.
Measured: 36 months
Dynamic changes of blood lipids
For participants achieving each 10% weight loss, intravenous serum will be collected and the parameters which can reflect the lipids metalism (such as triglyceride, total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, high density lipoprotein cholesterol ) will be measured by automatic biochemical analyzer.
Measured: 36 months
Dynamic changes of fasting blood glucose
For participants achieving each 10% weight loss, intravenous serum will be collected and fasting blood glucose will be measured by automatic biochemical analyzer.
Measured: 36 months
Dynamic changes of homocysteine
For participants achieving each 10% weight loss, intravenous serum will be collected and homocysteine will be measured by automatic biochemical analyzer.
Measured: 36 months
Dynamic changes of blood pressure
For participants achieving each 10% weight loss, blood pressure will be measured by the standard electronic sphygmomanometer.
Measured: 36 months

Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Dynamic changes of gut microbiome (time frame: 36 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04207879, which also lists 4 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Jan 2022; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
