Abstract |
: |
Fat accumulation in the abdominal area may harmfully affect health and increase the risk of chronic disease. The purpose of the study is to investigate the effect of coconut oil supplement on improving lipid profiles, blood pressure, blood glucose, and decreasing abdominal fats in adults. Study used nonequivalent control group design Participants were randomly selected from Jeddah, KSA, and their BMI was ³ 18.5 kg/m2. Study started with 43 participants divided into Placebo group (PL) and Coconut Oil Supplement group (COS); COS group (n=30) and PL group (n=13). PL group was received Placebo tablet (4tablets/day) and COS group received (1000mg) coconut oil supplement (4 capsules /day) with breakfast and lunch for 8 weeks. Before and after the 8 weeks of intervention, the Blood samples, anthropometric measurements, and blood pressure measurements were obtained. Lipid profile [Total Cholesterol (TC), Low-Density Lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and Triglyceride (TG)], fasting blood Glucose (GLU) and Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAC) were measured. The result of the study found significant decrease in weight (WT), Body mass index (BMI), and waist circumference (WC) in COS group, with respective means of -0.87± 2.76, -0.42 ± 0.78, -3.33 ± 4.48, (p<0.05) and no significant change for the control group. There were no changes in the lipid profile in COS group when compared to PL groups. Total Antioxidant capacity of plasma was significantly decreased after intervention in COS group. Conclusion, COS is beneficial for weight and WC reduction in adults.
Key words: coconut oil supplement, lipid profile, abdominal fat, placebo, body mass index, waist circumference, hip circumference, total antioxidant capacity, Glucose. |
