This study evaluated the effects of a weight loss diet on biochemical, anthropometric variables, and cluster of differentiation 36 (CD36) levels in 65 patients newly diagnosed with metabolic syndrome (MetS). Participants followed an 8-week medical nutrition therapy (MNT) designed to achieve at least 5% weight loss. Significant changes were observed in some biochemical parameters and blood pressure among those who adhered to the diet. CD36 levels showed correlations with various metabolic and body composition parameters.
