Trial summary

Many studies showed that soy foods or soy isoflavones can lower the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), osteoporosis and some cancers, but few human studies assessed effects of purified isoflavone components (genistein and daidzein) on glucose metabolism. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Study of the Effects of Soy Isoflavones on the Metabolism of Glucose and Lipids in Postmenopausal Chinese Women With Impaired Glucose Regulation

Many studies showed that soy foods or soy isoflavones can lower the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), osteoporosis and some cancers, but few human studies assessed effects of purified isoflavone components (genistein and daidzein) on glucose metabolism. This double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled trial will examine the effects of purified genistein and daidzein on glucose metabolism in prediabetic or diabetic women. One hundred and eighty eligible women age 30-70 years(without any treatment of diabetic drugs) will be recruited and randomly allocated into the following three arms: Placebo (10g isolated soy protein, ISP); Genistein (10g ISP + 50mg genistein); Daidzein (10g ISP + 50mg daidzein) per day for 6 mo. Fasting glucose, lipids, insulin, inflammation marks and post-load for glucose and insulin will be determined at 0, 3th, and 6th month. Changes in these indices will be compared among the three groups.

Read the detailed description

Subjects were Chinese adult women, age 30-70 year, with an FG concentration ranging from 5.6 to 7.0 mmol/L or 2-h PG concentration ranging from 7.8-11.0 mmol/L or with newly diagnosed diabetes not requiring medication treatment according to a doctor's suggestion or participants did not willing to take medication themselves, and managed their diabetes just with a stable diet and exercise. Women were excluded if they had a history of coronary heart disease, stoke, thyroid disease, severe liver, lung, or gastrointestinal tract diseases; were currently or in the past 8 weeks used hypoglycemic or lipid-lowering or weight-reduction agents; were occurrence of diabetic complications; use of hormone replacement therapy; allergy to soy;were long-term antibiotics users.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percentage Change in Fasting Plasma Glucose

    (6th month value-baseline value)/baseline value*100%

    Measured: Baseline,6 months

  2. Percentage Change in 120-minutes Postload Plasma Glucose

    (6th month value-baseline value)/baseline*100%

    Measured: Baseline, 6 months

  3. Percentage Change in HbA1C

    (6th month value-baseline value)/baseline value*100%

    Measured: Baseline, 6 months

  4. Percentage Change in AUC of Glucose

    values were from 75g glucose oral glucose tolerance test and caculated as (6th month value-baseline value)/baseline value*100%

    Measured: Baseline, 6 months

  5. Percentage Change in Fasting Plasma Insulin

    (6th month value-baseline value)/baseline value*100%

    Measured: Baseline, 6 months

  6. Percentage Change in HOMA-IR

    HOMA-IR was calculated with the homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance,and it is caculated as the following equation: HOMA-IR=FIns×FG/22.5, where FIns represents fasting insulin in microunits per milliliter, and FG is in millimoles per liter. The percentage change was caculated as (6th month value-baseline value)/baseline value*100%

    Measured: Baseline, 6 months

  7. Percentage Change in QUICKI

    QUICKI is the abbreviation of Quantitative Insulin Sensitivity Check Index,and it is a marker to evaluate insulin sensitivity in HOMA model.It is calculated by using the following equation: 1/(logFIns +logFG),where FIns represents fasting insulin in microunits per milliliter, and FG is in millimoles per liter.

    The percentage change was caculated as (6th month value-baseline value)/baseline value*100%

    Measured: Baseline, 6 months

  8. Percentage Change in Total Cholesterol

    (6th month value-baseline value)/baseline value*100%

    Measured: Baseline, 6 months

  9. Percentage Change in Triglyceride

    (6th month value-baseline value)/baseline value*100%

    Measured: Baseline, 6 months

  10. Percentage Change in High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol

    (6th month value-baseline value)/baseline value*100%

    Measured: Baseline, 6 months

  11. Percentage Change in Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol

    (6th month value-baseline value)/baseline value*100%

    Measured: Baseline, 6 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Total Urinary Isoflavones

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Urinary Daidzein

    Urinary daidzein excretion

    Measured: 3 months

  3. Urinary Genistein

    Urinary genistein excretion

    Measured: 3 months

  4. Total Energy Intake at Follow-up

    The energy intake was evaluated by 3 days dietary records.

    Measured: an average of the 24 weeks follow-up period which were evalutated on baseline,12 week and 24 week.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Daidzein and Genistein in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, run by Sun Yat-sen University at 1 site in China.

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?

Percentage Change in Fasting Plasma Glucose (time frame: Baseline,6 months). The study lists 11 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 17 Oct 2012.
