Overall, the mean age was 47 ±9 (range: 20 to 62 years), mean BMI: 36.4 ± 6.3, mean weight: 225.3 ± 40.9 pounds, mean baseline ALT: 97.1 IU/L ± 80.3, mean aspartate aminotransferase (AST): 62.8 IU/L ± 38.6, mean QUICKI: 0.30 ± 0.01 (Table The orlistat group lost a mean of 8.3% body weight (Similarly, the non‐orlistat group lost a mean of 6.0% body weight (Comparing the orlistat group to the non‐orlistat group at study completion, no significant differences were identified between the two groups for mean weight loss, serum ALT or AST, insulin resistance, cholesterol, or adipocytokine levels. Baseline characteristics for the treatment groups were compared using chi-square and ANOVAs. Fecal SCFA were quantified using the method by Hernot et al.

About 1.0 ml of 75% ethanol was added to 50 mg of dried, pulverized feces, incubated at 50°C for 2 h, and centrifuged at 1,050Gross energy content of the feces was measured using an isoperibol calorimeter (Parr Instrument model 6200, Parr Instruments, Moline, IL) and mineral oil as a standard. Abundances of Species that were decreased by ASPF were in genera We observed that plasma concentration of the anti‐inflammatory IL‐10, a counter‐regulatory cytokine was statistically increased and CXCL1, which acts as a chemokine to recruit leukocytes, was decreased only by the ASPF‐supplemented ObD.
Base calls were generated using Casava 1.8.2 (Illumina), and the resulting demultiplexed sequence reads were filtered for low quality.Colons were cut into two pieces and identified as proximal and distal.

The significance of A two‐factor (treatment, time) analysis of variance (ANOVA) with repeated measures on one factor (time), followed by one‐tailed Fifty subjects were enrolled in the study, 25 from each site. Reasons for not completing the study include: one patient withdrew consent, six patients were lost to follow‐up, one patient did not have adequate biopsy tissue for histopathologic examination on follow up, and we were unable to obtain the pretreatment trichrome stain for review for one patient. One hundred twenty thousand pods were harvested at reproductive stage 6 or when the green pod contained beans that filled the pods. Fresh food replaced any remaining at weekly intervals.
