Trial summary

Glypican4, CTRP3, CTRP5 are emerging novel adipokines mediating obesity and inflammation related disorders. RBP4 and adiponectin are well known important adipokines. Therefore, we examine the circulating levels of theses adipokines in the subjects with or without metabolic syndrome. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effects of Exercise on Glypican4,CTRP3,5 and RBP4 Levels and Circulating Levels of These Adipokines in the Subjects With or Without Metabolic Syndrome

Glypican4, CTRP3, CTRP5 are emerging novel adipokines mediating obesity and inflammation related disorders. RBP4 and adiponectin are well known important adipokines. Therefore, we examine the circulating levels of theses adipokines in the subjects with or without metabolic syndrome. Furthermore, we tried to clarify the effect of exercise on the circulating these adipokines.

What participants receive

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

  • 3months ExerciseBehavioural

    training session consisting of a brief warm-up, followed by an approximately 45-min session of aerobic exercise at an intensity of 60-75% of the age-predicted maximum heart rate (approximately 300 kcal/day) and a 20-min muscle strength train- ing programme (approximately 100 kcal/day), followed by a brief cool-down period.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 3months Exercise in people with Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity, run by Korea University at 1 site in South Korea.

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 5 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 21 Sep 2012. 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 South Korea. 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?

The changes of circulating glypican4 levels after 3 months exercise (time frame: baseline and 12weeks). The study lists 5 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 NCT01688622, which also lists 2 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 21 Sep 2012; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
