About this study

Official title: A Trial to Measure the Glycemic Index and Polyphenol Bioavailability of Four Different Varieties of Potato.

The purpose of this study is to determine the glycemic index of four varieties of potatoes and to determine the bioavailability of polyphenols contained in these potatoes.

Read the detailed description

Ten healthy persons will have a fasting blood sample drawn and asked to randomly consume a 50g glucose drink (2 occasions), or 50g carbohydrate equivalent of cooked purple, red, yellow and white potatoes. Further blood samples will be obtained at 15,30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 180, 240 mins. Bloods from the first 2 hours will be analyzed for glucose and insulin to determine the glycemic response. Hourly blood samples will be analyzed for polyphenol to determine the bioavailability of polyphenols from the different potato variety. Urine samples will be collected before ingestion of the food items and again at 4 hours, and will be used to determine polyphenol bioavailability.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Glycemic response to different varieties of potatoes in people with Diabetes and Insulin Resistance, run by Guelph Food Research Centre at 1 site in Canada.

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 3 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 17 Jan 2011. 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 Canada. 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?

Glycemic response (time frame: 2 hrs). 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 NCT01053793, 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 17 Jan 2011.
