Abstract
Background and objectives
Lutein is a xanthophyll carotenoid with potential advantages for obesity and cardiometabolic disorders. The purpose of this double-blind, randomized, controlled trial was to determine whether consuming lutein alongside a low-calorie diet (LCD) affects the serum levels of leptin and adiponectin and the pro-oxidant/antioxidant balance (PAB) in obese middle-aged individuals.
Material and methods
Following a 2-week run-in phase with an LCD, 48 participants aged 45–65 were randomly assigned to take either 20 mg/d of lutein or placebo in conjunction with an LCD for 10 weeks. At the beginning and end of the study, dietary intake, anthropometric indices, serum levels of leptin and adiponectin and PAB were measured.
Results
The results showed that 10 weeks of lutein supplementation alongside an LCD diet reduced PAB compared to controls (–17.38% in lutein group vs. 21.57% in control group, P < 0.001). No significant changes were observed in the serum levels of adiponectin and leptin.
Conclusion
Lutein consumption could significantly diminish oxidative stress in obese middle-aged individuals.
