About this study

Weight loss induced by caloric restriction alone (CR) and by exercise alone (EX) result in similar effects on blood glucose and insulin. The purpose of this study is to assess the hypothesis that weight loss through caloric restriction plus exercise will result in greater improvements on glucose tolerance and insulin action than similar weight losses through CR or EX alone.

Read the detailed description

Participants are randomized into caloric restriction, exercise, and caloric restriction plus exercise weight loss groups. Measurements of blood glucose and insulin, oral glucose tolerance, and matched glucose infusion will be done at baseline and after weight loss of 6% of body weight. Other tests include maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max), strength tests, blood pressure, blood lipids, serum inflammatory markers, dual X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) for bone density and body composition, physical activity levels, dietary intakes, and measures of arterial stiffness.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Calorie RestrictionOther

    This group will undergo a 20% reduction in energy intake without any change in energy expenditure.

  • ExerciseOther

    This group will undergo a 20% increase in energy expenditure by exercising without any change in energy intake.

  • Calorie Restriction and ExerciseOther

    This group will undergo 10% reduction in energy intake and a 10% increase in energy expenditure via exercise.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Calorie Restriction, Exercise and Calorie Restriction and Exercise in people with Diabetes, run by St. Louis University at 1 site in United States.

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 6 inclusion and 3 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 12 Feb 2016. 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 United States. 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?

Glucoregulatory function (time frame: 3-4 months). 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 NCT00777621, which also lists 3 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 12 Feb 2016.
