About this study

Official title: An 8 Weeks, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Clinical Trial for Anti-diabetic Effects of Hydrolyzed Ginseng Extract

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of daily supplementation of hydrolyzed ginseng extract(HGE) on glycemic status in subjects with impaired fasting glucose(IFG).

Read the detailed description

This study was a 8 weeks, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Twenty subjects were randomly divided into HGE or a placebo group. Fasting and postprandial glucose profiles during oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) were assessed before and after the intervention.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Changes of blood insulin during OGTT.

    Changes of blood insulin during OGTT were assessed before(baseline) and after the intervention.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  2. Changes of glycated albumin, fructosamine, and lipid profile

    Changes of glycated albumin, fructosamine, and lipid profile were assessed before(baseline) and after the intervention

    Measured: 8 weeks

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?

Changes of blood glucose during OGTT(oral glucose tolerance test) (time frame: 8 weeks). 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?
