About this study

Official title: Healthy, Nutritious and Tasty Fish for the Future

Fish from the aquaculture sector constitutes an increasing part of the fish consumption in Denmark. The most important farmed fish in Denmark is the rainbow trout. Due to limited access of wild fish for the feed production, alternative feeding regimes of vegetable origin such as vegetable proteins and rapeseed oil are used instead of marine feed. This change in feeding regime may affect flesh quality and health and nutritional properties as the content of long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 LCPUFA) will presumably decrease in the meat. The objective of the study is to investigate the effect of vegetable based feed versus marine feed of farmed trout and its effect in healthy men on cardiovascular risk markers associated with the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Read the detailed description

In a two month parallel study including 60 healthy men aged 40-70 years, the cardiovascular effect of one daily meal of trout fed with a vegetable based feed are compared with that of trout fed with marine feed (estimated intake of n-3 LCPUFA 2.6 g/day) and a standard Danish diet with poultry. Men are randomised to one of the three groups. Red blood cell fatty acid composition, classical cardiovascular disease (CVD)-risk markers (blood pressure and plasma lipid profile), newer CVD-markers (arterial compliance and plasma markers of endothelial function and inflammation) and plasma proteome analysis are measured at the beginning and end of the intervention period.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Effects of trout on CVD risk markers and plasma proteome in people with Cardiovascular Disease, run by University of Copenhagen at 1 site in Denmark.

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 2 inclusion and 7 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 14 Aug 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Denmark. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

plasma protein expression. The study lists 7 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 14 Aug 2008.
