What participants receive

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

  • Calorie RestrictionBehavioural

    Participants will work with the CRU dietetics staff to plan a diet that will result in their losing 1-2 pounds per week over 16 weeks. They will wear an accelerometer to track there activity during these weeks.

  • Control (normal living)Behavioural

    Participants will continue their normal living for entire time of the study. They will be asked to wear an accelerometer for the next 16 weeks and check in weekly at the CRU to exchange accelerometers.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in muscle protein synthesis from baseline to 16 weeks

    The investigators will determine the rate of incorporation of stable isotope amino acid tracers in skeletal muscle protein on average resting muscle protein synthesis rate (% new muscle protein per hour) and will be performed at baseline and 16 weeks after caloric restriction or control diet.

    Measured: Measured at week 0 (baseline) and week 16

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change in insulin sensitivity from 0 (baseline) and 16 weeks

    The investigators will determine insulin sensitivity at week 0 (baseline) and 16 weeks into caloric restriction or control diet. The measurement is made by hyperinsulimic euglycemic clamp and reported as μmol per kilogram of fat free mass of infused glucose needed to maintain glycemia.

    Measured: Measured at week 0 (baseline) and week 16

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Calorie Restriction in people with Insulin Resistance, run by Mayo Clinic at 1 site in United States.

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 4 inclusion and 8 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 26 Nov 2014. 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 United States. 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 muscle protein synthesis from baseline to 16 weeks (time frame: Measured at week 0 (baseline) and week 16). 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 26 Nov 2014.
