Moreover , there was nonlinear association between duration of psyllium consumption , BMI and WC .
Conclusion : Psyllium supplementation does not reduce body weight , BMI , and WC significantly
Abstract Background : Previous studies reported inconsistent findings regarding the effects of psyllium supplementation on  obesity measures .
This systematic review and meta- analysis was performed to summarize data from available r and omized clinical trials ( RCTs ) on the effect of psyllium supplementation on  body weight , body mass index ( BMI ) , and waist circumference ( WC ) in adults .
Comparative Study on the Effect of Plantago psyllium and Ocimum basilicum Seeds on Anthropometric Measures in Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Patients
Background : Due to the attribution of fatty liver with some chronic diseases such as obesity , finding a way to control obesity can be useful for the management of fatty liver . This study was performed to assess the effects of Plantago psyllium ( PP ) and Ocimum basilicum ( OB ) on anthropometric measurements in people with hepatic steatosis . Methods : All patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease ( NAFLD ) were enrolled in this four-arm parallel , r and omized , and single blind trial . They r and omly assigned into four groups receiving ( 1 ) OB 10 g/day ; ( 2 ) PP 10 g/day ; ( 3 ) mix of OB and PP 10 g/day ; and ( 4 ) control group without placebo for 12 weeks . Anthropometric measurements were assessed during study baseline and after 12 weeks intervention . The data were analyzed using paired sample t-test for within group and analysis of covariance for between groups . Results : In within group analysis , weight and body mass index show a significant reduction after 12 weeks intervention . In addition , soft lean mass and lean body mass were decreased in PP and mixed of PP and OB groups significantly ; another group ( OB ) shows the same result for mass body fat . Although in intervention groups , we see considerable reduction , between group changes did not demonstrate the same consequences . Conclusions : The results of this study showed that administration of OB , PP , or mix of them for 12 weeks does not affect any of the anthropometric measures in NAFLD
Moreover , there was nonlinear association between duration of psyllium consumption , BMI and WC .
