Concentration of n-3 PUFA Monohydroxylated Derivatives in Adults With Obesity After n-3 PUFA Supplementation. (NCT06991296)

Concentration of n-3 PUFA Monohydroxylated Derivatives in Adults With Obesity After Supplementation With "SPM Active®".

🟢 Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic 📋 Clinical Research Protocol Sponsor: University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill

🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if daily supplementation with SPM Active® can increase omega 3 polyunsaturated fatty acid derivatives and improve well-being in adults with obesity. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does 2 g/day of SPM Active® for 12 weeks increase plasma levels of 14-hydroxydocosahexaenoic (HDHA), 17-HDHA, and 18-hydroxy eicosapentaenoic acid (HEPE)? Does 2 g/day of SPM Active® for 12 weeks improve self-reported burnout, life satisfaction, and sleep quality? Participants will: Take two SPM Active® soft-gel capsules daily for 12 weeks (±2-4 days). Provide 12-hour fasting blood samples before and after the intervention. Complete validated surveys on burnout, life satisfaction, and sleep quality at baseline and study end.
