Abstract
Background: Prevalence of obesity is increasing at an alarming rate. The development in economy is linked to modernization and urbanization. This finally leads to rise in obesity cases. Systemic oxidative stress is induced by obesity.
Objectives: We used maize diet as we aim to control lipid peroxidation in obesity as a management strategy looking at the alarming rate of increase in global obesity.
Material and Methods: This study was done on 1001 girls. The age was between 18 to 34 years. We have distributed them according to age and inhabitance. The study was conducted for a period of six month and the girls were exclusively on maize diet; examined for MDA status before and after the diet and statistically evaluated.
Results: There was reduction in the level of MDA in all the subclasses. Lipid peroxidation in all the girls before the consumption of the diet was 2.50 ± 0.52nmol/ml which lowered to 1.6 ± 0.34nmol/ml after the completion of the study. (P<0.001)
Conclusions: Oxidative stress improved dramatically in all the subgroups especially in overweight and obese girls. (P<0.001) After the study we recommend a diet plan which is healthy consisting of less fat and more fiber intake
Keywords: Obesity, prevalence, oxidative stress, MDA, age, inhabitance.
