About this study

Official title: Effect of Moderate Alcohol Consumption on PPAR-γ Activity and Risk Markers of Metabolic Disease: Influence of Genetic Variation in Alcohol Oxidation

Moderate alcohol consumption is associated with a decreased risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. The association of alcohol consumption with cardiovascular disease is mediated by a functional polymorphism of alcohol dehydrogenase 1c, but the effect of this polymorphism on alcohol metabolism is only investigated in vitro.

The risk reduction of moderate alcohol consumption for cardiovascular disease is explained largely by an increase of HDL cholesterol, but an increase of adiponectin concentrations after moderate alcohol consumption may also be involved. It seems likely that adiponectin is a mediator for the association of moderate alcohol consumption with type 2 diabetes. The mechanism by which moderate alcohol consumption increases adiponectin concentrations is unknown, but ppar-gamma activation may be involved.

effects of this polymorphism on mediators of this relation are not known. This study therefore investigates the effect of moderate alcohol consumption and the influence of alcohol dehydrogenase 1c polymorphism on ppar-gamma activated gene expression and risk factors of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.

Objectives :

To investigate the effect of moderate alcohol consumption and influence of genetic variation of ethanol oxidation on:

  • PPAR-γ activated gene expression
  • Markers of coronary heart disease or type 2 diabetes
  • Postprandial changes of HPA-axis activity among 36 postmenopausal women with ADH1C genotype associated with slow or fast alcohol metabolism.

Design : Randomized, controlled, not blinded crossover trial with 1 week wash-out preceding each treatment period

Participants

  • Description : Apparently healthy postmenopausal women
  • Number : 36

Study substances

  • Test substance : White wine (ca. 25 g alcohol/day)
  • Reference substance : White grape juice

Study treatments Treatment A: 250 ml white wine daily (ca. 25 g alcohol/day) Treatment B: 250 ml white grape juice daily

Study period

  • Duration : two periods of 6 weeks preceded by 1 week wash-out period

Test parameters:

  • Adiponectin mRNA expression
  • Expression of PPAR-gamma activated genes: CD36, lipoprotein lipase, AP2
  • Markers of cardiovascular disease (blood lipid profile, Lp-PLA2 activity, hs-CRP, fibrinogen)
  • Markers of type 2 diabetes (adiponectin, adiponectin oligomers, insulin sensitivity)
  • Parameters of alcohol oxidation (postprandial: blood alcohol and acetate, acetaldehyde)
  • HPA-axis activity (postprandial \& fasting: cortisol, ACTH, testosterone)
Being tested
Alcohol: 25 gday (white wine)
Keywords
Moderate alcohol consumption, Alcohol dehydrogenase 1c polymorphism, PPAR-gamma activated gene expression
Medical subject headings

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Alcohol: 25 gday (white wine) in people with Cardiovascular Disease and Type 2 Diabetes, run by TNO.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Aug 2006. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

PPAR-gamma activated gene expression. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00285909, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Aug 2006.
