About this study

Official title: Effect of Arginine-rich Dietary Protein on Postprandial Metabolism, Inflammation and Endothelial Function

The main objective is to investigate the postprandial effect of arginine-rich protein (i.e. pea-protein) on metabolic control, inflammation and endothelial function after a high-fat meal in subjects with characteristics of the metabolic syndrome.

Read the detailed description

Arginine is potential interesting considering the metabolic syndrome. Studies so far indicated both long-term effects, as well as acute - postprandial - actions; especially when metabolism is already challenged, e.g. in diabetic patients or after a high-fat meal. If arginine-rich proteins are equally effective is not known. Therefore we are interested in the effect of (arginine rich) protein on postprandial (dys)metabolism, inflammation and endothelial function, within 6 hours after a meal.

Being tested
High-fat shake with Pea protein, High-fat shake with Pea protein hydrolysate, High-fat shake - Control, High-fat shake with Gluten protein, High-fat shake with Gluten protein hydrolysate

What is being measured

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

  1. Postprandial metabolic, inflammatory and endothelial response

    Metabolic: Plasma glucose, insulin and triglyceride levels (T= 0,1,2,3,4,5 and 6 hrs)

    Inflammatory: C-reactive protein (CRP), Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a), Interleukin-6 (IL-6), Inter-Cellular Adhesion Molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and Monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) (T=0, 2, 4 and 6 hrs).

    Endothelial function: Macro vascular regional arterial stiffness by Pulse Wave Analysis (PWA) (T=0, 3 and 6 hrs).

    Measured: up to 6 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Satiety markers and Oxidative stress

    Satiety: Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) (T=0,2,4 and 6 hrs).

    Oxidative stress: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) (T=0,3 and 6 hrs).

    Measured: up to 6 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing High-fat shake with Pea protein, High-fat shake with Pea protein hydrolysate and High-fat shake with Gluten protein in people with Metabolic Syndrome, run by Wageningen University at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 11 inclusion and 13 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 Sep 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 Netherlands. 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 metabolic, inflammatory and endothelial response (time frame: up to 6 hours). 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 7 Sep 2011.
