PROBIOTICS’ EFFECT ON NUTRITIONAL STATUS, APPETITE HORMONES, AND INFLAMMATION IN PRE-OBESE WOMEN

Abstract

Objective: Obesity is one of the most common health problems in the world. The following methods are currently used to treat obesity: medical nutrition therapy, behavioral therapy, medical treatment, and surgical therapy. Discussions are still ongoing regarding whether changing the plasma levels of the hormones that regulate satiety and appetite can be used as a new add-on therapy to pre-existing obesity treatments to decrease food consumption. One possibility for changing the levels of the hormones that control hunger and satiety involves the use of probiotics. This study has been planned and conducted to examine the effects of probiotics on appetite, inflammation, and nutritional status in overweight individuals. Materials and Methods: The study includes 35 overweight females aged 19-30 years old to who a questionnaire form had been applied prior to the study. Probiotics were given to these individuals for 8 weeks. Food consumption records and anthropometric measurements were taken and a body composition analysis conducted three times during the study. Inflammatory markers such as CRP, TNF-α, and IL-6 and the hormone analyses (i.e., leptin, adiponectin, cholecystokinin, ghrelin, GLP-1, and PYY) were evaluated at the beginning and end of the study using the ELISA method. Results: The women were asked about their physical activity status, and their appetite hormones and inflammatory markers were analyzed both at the beginning and end of the study. When taken together, the study found the individuals’ anthropometric measurements, inflammatory markers, and hunger hormone levels to have decreased significantly and their satiety hormone levels to have increased significantly after the use of probiotics (p<0.05). However, no significant changes occurred regarding their energy, macronutrients, fiber intake, or physical activity levels (p>0.05). Conclusion: The study clearly shows an appropriate probiotic strain to be able to significantly affect anthropometric measurements, inflammatory markers, and appetite hormones in overweight individuals without any other intervention.
