Abstract

Impact evaluation of RS supplementation on anthropometric, biochemical, and lifestyle factors along with establishment of gut micro flora with respect to Bifidobacteria, Lactic Acid Bacteria and Enterobacteria in adult grade III obese subjects. Methods: Randomized control trial was undertaken with 60 obese adults wherein experimental group (n=30) was supplemented with 10 g RS in a sachet daily for a period 8 weeks and control group subjects (n=30) did not receive the supplement. The subjects were assessed for their gut microbiodata. Blood samples were estimated for leptin levels before and after supplementation. Results: RS supplementation in obese adults (mean 2 BMI= 32.9 kg/m ) significantly increased establishment of Bifidobacteria (p < 0.01) from 7.41 to 8.22 log CFU/g and lactobacilli from 4.77 to 6.96 log CFU/g and with a non significant reduction in the mean log counts of enteric pathogens. RS intake in obese adults resulted in a non significant reduction in WC, HC and systolic blood pressure by 1.2%, 1.9% and 0.5% respectively with no change in their BMI values. Subjects with higher leptin levels (>5μg/dl in males and >7μg/dl in females) showed significant reduction with 49% and 29% decrease in males and females respectively. Conclusions: RS can be implicated as a promising tool for improving the gut health in the obese subjects However, no exclusive effect of RS supplementation on the weight, BMI, body fat and satiety levels of the subjects.
