-Summary

Volunteers were randomly assigned by gender to follow of two 12 weeks experimental periods: intervention (I) and control (C) in different order (I/C or C/I). Both periods were separated by a 4 weeks wash-out interval during which subjects returned to their usual diet:

During the I period, volunteers weekly consumed three 150g/serving Functional Meat (FM) products (cooked Ham and Turkey breast). It was firmly recommended that all other meats and meat derivatives had to be excluded from the diet.

During the C period, volunteers consumed identical amounts of meat products that did not include functional ingredients (Control Meat (CM)).

Functional meat (FM) products (Functional cooked Ham (FH) and Functional cooked Turkey breast (FT)), were manufactured mixing the meats with the patented formula® (P200402755.2004). The amount of supercritical rosemary extract, deodorized salmon oil and vitamin E used was respectively, 0.02% w/w, 0.6% w/w, and 0.001% w/w.

Control meat (CM) products (Control cooked Ham (CH) and Control cooked Turkey (CT), were prepared without addition of the functional ingredients.

+Outcome measures

Primary outcomes

  • Lipid profile changes [0, 12, 16 and 28 week]: Parameters measured were: Cholesterol, LDL-Cholesterol, HDL-Cholesterol, Triglycerides, Apolipoprotein B and Apolipoprotein A.

Secondary outcomes

  • Framingham score changes [0, 12, 16 and 28 week]: Framingham score adapted to Spanish population (cardiovascular risk measurement)
  • Inflammatory markers changes [0, 12, 16 and 28 week]: Parameters measured were: Adiponectin, fibrinogen, TNFα, IL6, IL1B, PAI-1 and PCR
  • Oxidative Stress Parameters changes [0, 12, 16 and 28 week]: Parameters measured were: plasma antioxidant capacity (FRAP, ferric reducing antioxidant power), lipidic peroxidation (TBARS, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances assay), LDL-ox, . 8-iso-Prostaglandin F2α (8-iso-PGF2α), α-tocopherol and nitric oxide synthase (NOS).
  • Glucosa Metabolism changes [0, 12, 16 and 28 week]: Parameters measured were: glucose, basal insulin, HOMA index (glycemic insulin sensitivity index was calculated using the formula: HOMA-IR = fasting glucose (mmol/l)/fasting immunoreactive insulin (mU/ml)/22.5).
  • Blood pressure and heart rate changes [0, 12, 16 and 28 week]
  • Anthropometric parameters changes [0, 12, 16 and 28 week]: Parameters measured were: Weight, Height and waist circumference, tricipital skinfold thickness and fat mass percentage (FM%).

Other outcomes

  • Homocystein levels changes [0, 12, 16 and 28 week]
  • Sensory perception [12, and 28 week]: Subjects were asked to value taste and smell meats consumed, using a Visual Analogical Scale ranged 1-10 cm.
  • Adverse event [12, and 28 week]: Defined as any unfavourable, unintended effect reported by a subject or observed by the investigator during the study. All were recorded along with the symptoms involved (nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, halitosis, constipation).
