Abstract

|
|
A highly obese female patient (body mass index=30.8 kg/m2) participated in a 10-day Gamrosu modified fasting therapy with soluble dietary fiber supplementation to enhance lipid metabolism. Gamrosu is a modified fasting therapy beverage which is made from medical herbs and carbohydrates (431 kcal/d). Before and after fasting, we evaluated the efficacy of therapy by measuring the changes of body composition and blood chemistry. After the modified fasting therapy, ?6.1% of body weight and ?5.6% of body fat mass were decreased. With regard to blood chemistry, all the plasma lipid levels were lowered. ?37.4% of total cholesterol, ?39.7% of low density lipoprotein cholesterol, ?39.0% of triglyceride and ?27% of high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol were reduced. Further studies are needed to alleviate the reduction of HDL- cholesterol to apply the Gamrosu modified fasting to hyperlipidemia.
