About this study

Official title: A 8 wk Study to Compare the Effects of Proteins Various Fish Species (Salmon, Herring, Cod) and Milk on Glucose Regulation in Overweight and Obese Adults.

The purpose of this study is to compare the possible health benefits of intake of proteins from salmon, herring, cod and milk on glucose tolerance in overweight and obese adults. Overweight and obese subjects often have reduced glucose tolerance, and previous findings from a study on cod proteins suggested that glucose tolerance was improved.

Participants receive 2.5g protein per day for 8 weeks as tablets.

What is being measured

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

  1. Glucose regulation

    Glucose will be measured in fasting and postprandial samples

    Measured: 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Changes in serum insulin, insulin C-peptide, non-esterified fatty acids, lipids, adiponectin, leptin and fatty acid composition

    Measured: 8 weeks

  2. Changes in serum and urine concentrations of amino acids and their metabolites

    Measured: 8 weeks

  3. Changes in serum concentrations of vitamins

    Measured: 8 weeks

  4. Comparisons of metabolites and co-factors involved in one-carbon metabolism in serum and urine

    Concentrations of relevant metabolites and co-factors were measured in serum and urine

    Measured: 8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Salmon protein hydrolysate, Herring protein hydrolysate and Cod protein in people with Obesity and Overweight, run by University of Bergen at 1 site in Norway.

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 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 7 Apr 2022. 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 Norway. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Glucose regulation (time frame: 8 weeks). 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 NCT01641055, 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 7 Apr 2022.
