About this study

Official title: Hämeenlinna Metabolic Syndrome Research Program (HMS): Effects of Dietary Cold-pressed Turnip Rapeseed Oil and Milk Fat on Serum Lipids, Oxidized LDL, Arterial Elasticity and Platelet Function

In this study, the effects of dietary intake of cold-pressed turnip rapeseed oil (CTPRO) and milk fat are compared in men with metabolic syndrome having already participated in HMS-02 study.

Read the detailed description

This open and balanced cross-over study consists of two dietary treatment phases (either Virgino (R) CTPRO or butter) for 6 to 8 weeks. They are separated from each other with an eight-week washout period. At the end of both periods and 12-hour fasting an oral glucose-fat tolerance test is carried out. Except glucose, the test consists cream (after the butter phase) and CTPRO (after the CTPRO phase).

Otherwise, the subjects (n=43) are asked to maintain their normal dietary habits.

What participants receive

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

  • Cold-pressed turnip rapeseed oil (CTPRO)Dietary supplement

    Also called Virgino

    1. In the dietary period of 6 to 8 weeks: CTPRO 37 ml/day.
    2. In the 5-hour oral glucose and fat tolerance test: glucose and CTPRO.
  • milk fatDietary supplement

    Also called Valio butter

What is being measured

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

  1. Circulating lipids

    At the end of both 6- to 8-week dietary periods, fasting values of circulating lipids including oxidized LDL are determined

    Measured: 6 to 8 weeks

  2. Platelet function

    At the end of both 6- to 8-week dietary periods, platelet function is determined

    Measured: 6 to 8 weeks

  3. Glucose tolerance

    During a 5-hour oral glucose-fat tolerance test the area under curve of plasma glucose and insulin concentration is determined

    Measured: 5 hours

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Arterial elasticity

    At the end of both 6- to 8-week dietary periods, arterial elasticity is determined

    Measured: 6 to 8 weeks

  2. Serum triglyceride AUC

    During a 5-hour oral glucose-fat tolerance test the area under curve of serum triglyceride concentration is determined

    Measured: 5 hours

  3. Platelet function

    During a 5-hour oral glucose-fat tolerance test the platelet function is determined

    Measured: 5 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Cold-pressed turnip rapeseed oil (CTPRO) and milk fat in people with Metabolic Syndrome, run by Kanta-Häme Central Hospital at 4 sites in Finland.

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 0 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 7 May 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Finland. 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?

Circulating lipids (time frame: 6 to 8 weeks). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01119690, 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 7 May 2010.
