About this study

Official title: Mediterranean vs. Low-Carbohydrate Diet : Which is the Best Dietary Approach for Treating Postprandial Lipid Abnormalities and Improving Glucose Control in Type 2 Diabetic Patients?

The aim of this intervention study was to evaluate in type 2 diabetic patients the effects on postprandial lipemia and other metabolic parameters (in both everyday life conditions and after a standard test meal) of two diets, one moderately rich in CHO, rich in fibre and with a low glycemic index (Mediterranean diet), and the other low in CHO and rich in MUFA (Low-CHO diet).Since adipose tissue, mainly through its lipolytic activities, is considered as having a pivotal role in the regulation of postprandial lipid metabolism, a further aim of our study was to clarify the role of adipose tissue in modulating the postprandial lipid response induced by the two dietary approaches by evaluating the activities of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL).

What participants receive

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

  • Mediterranean diet and Low-Carbohydrates dietOther

    The Mediterranean diet: relatively rich in Carbohydrate(52% of the total daily energy intake), rich in dietary fibre (28g/1000 kcal both of soluble and unsoluble types) and with a low glycemic index (51%) versus Low-carbohydrates diet : diet rich in MUFA (23%), relatively low in CHO (45%), low in dietary fibre (8g/1000 kcal) and with a relatively high glycemic index (87%)for 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Mediterranean diet and Low-Carbohydrates diet in people with Postprandial Lipemia and Type 2 Diabetes, run by Federico II University at 1 site in Italy.

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 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 11 Nov 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 Italy. 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?

Postprandial response triglyceride of chylomicrons and large VLDL (time frame: 4 weeks). 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 NCT00789295, which also lists 4 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 11 Nov 2008.
