About this study

Official title: Effect of a Milk Phospholipid Supplementation on the Lipid Metabolism in Healthy Volunteers

The aim of the study is to investigate parameters of the lipid metabolism in plasma and feces of healthy subjects after a dietary supplementation of different dosages of milk phospholipids.

Read the detailed description

To date the mechanisms for the intestinal absorption of glycerophosphates and sphingolipids are not completely investigated. It is assumed, that sphingolipids and sterols compete for intestinal absorption. In addition it is unclear, if a dietary phospholipid supplementation may influence the phospholipid concentration in plasma.

To evaluate the effect of a dietary phospholipid supplementation 15 healthy female subjects received over 10 days daily 3 g of milk phospholipids stirred in a dairy product. During the following 10 days the subjects were supplemented with daily 6 g milk phospholipid. Finally, the subjects received over 10 days 6 g of the milk phospholipid in a dairy product and 2 g of plant sterols serving a commercial product.

What participants receive

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

  • Milk phospholipidDietary supplement

    During day 1 until 10 the subjects were supplemented with daily 3 g milk phospholipids, during the day 11 and 20 the supplementation was increased to daily 6 g, and during the day 21 and 30 the subjects received daily 6 g milk phospholipids and 2 g of plant sterols.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in plasma phospholipid concentration

    Total phospholipid concentration

    Individual phospholipid concentration (lyso phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylcholine, sphingomyelin, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol)

    Measured: after 0, 10, 20, and 30 days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Plasma lipids

    Fatty acid fraction (total fatty acid distribution, phospholipid fatty acid distribution)

    Cholesterol fraction (total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol)

    Triacylglycerides fraction

    Measured: after 0,10,20, and 30 days

  2. Fecal lipids

    Fecal lipids (crude fat, total phospholipids, sterols, bile acids)

    Measured: after 0,10,20, and 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Milk phospholipid in people with Healthy, run by University of Jena at 1 site in Germany.

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 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 1 Apr 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 Germany. 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?

Change in plasma phospholipid concentration (time frame: after 0, 10, 20, and 30 days). 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 NCT01327430, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 1 Apr 2011.
