Abstract
We aimed to discover if L -arginine and selenium alone or together can increase the effect of a hypocaloric diet enriched in legumes (HDEL) on central obesity and cardiovascular risk factors in women with central obesity. Methods: This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was undertaken in 84 premenopausal women with central obesity. After a 2-week run-in period on an isocaloric diet, participants were randomly assigned to a control diet (HDEL), L -arginine (5 g/day) and HDEL, selenium (200 � g/day) and HDEL or L -arginine, selenium and HDEL for 6 weeks. Cardiovascular risk factors were assessed before intervention and 3 and 6 weeks afterwards. Results: After 6 weeks, L -arginine had significantly reduced waist circumference (WC); selenium had significantly lowered fasting
