Abstract

A highly obese female patient (body mass index=$30.8kg/m^2$) 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.

고도비만 여성환자 1명을 대상으로 감로수 절식요법과 더불어 절식기 동안 수용성 식이섬유를 함께 공급한 결과 절식 전보다 혈중 T-cholesterol -37.4%, LDL-C -39.7%, triglyceride -39.0%, HDL-C가 -27.0% 감소하였다. 향후 감로수 절식요법을 심혈관계 질환의 예방과 치료를 위한 방법으로 사용하기 위해서는 HDL-C 감소를 보완할 수 있는 추가 연구가 필요하리라 생각된다.
