NCT ID NCT05495074
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether a genetic score could predict how well adults with metabolic syndrome respond to a calorie-cutting diet. 115 Mexican adults followed a reduced-calorie diet for a period, and researchers measured changes in waist size, blood sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure. The goal was to see if certain gene variants linked to amino acid metabolism could forecast who benefits most from the diet.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ATP III dietary intervention (calorie reduction with specific macronutrient distribution)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to personalized diet plans based on genetics, improving weight and heart health for people with metabolic syndrome.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed study that only looked for a link between genetics and diet response. The results may not apply to other populations or lead to a usable test.
