Trial summary

There is evidence that intense physical activity has a potential effect on thrombotic events due to catecholamine release. The hormones leptin and adiponectin have been used as markers of cardiovascular risk, but they are few and contradictory studies that relate physical training intensity and duration of high plasma… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effect of Vitis Vinifera Extract on Oxidative Stress, Inflammatory Biomarkers and Hormones in High Trained Subjects After Resting and Intensive Physical Activity.

There is evidence that intense physical activity has a potential effect on thrombotic events due to catecholamine release. The hormones leptin and adiponectin have been used as markers of cardiovascular risk, but they are few and contradictory studies that relate physical training intensity and duration of high plasma concentrations of these hormones. The use of antioxidants, such as proanthocyanidins present in grapes, may help in reducing the undesirable effects of intense training.

Read the detailed description

Fifty four Brazilian healthy military without hyperglycemia, diabetes mellitus and endocrine disease were enrolled in this study. All subjects were high physically military trained. The Ethical Committee of the Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro in Brazil (COEP008/2011) approved the study protocol. Informed consent was obtained from each subject after explanation of purpose and risks of all procedures used.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing grape fruit (vitis vinifera) extract in capsule with 205 mg in people with Athletic Injuries, run by Rio de Janeiro State University at 1 site in Brazil.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jun 2013. 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 Brazil. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact M C G, MD (55 21 23340679 ext. 218, marianagoncalves.mg@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Evaluate the changes of oxidative stress, microcirculation parameters, inflammation biomarkers and plasma adipokines in vitis vinifera extract supplemented and placebo subject before and after high intense training (time frame: This study will last 24 months (2013-2015)). 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 12 Jun 2013.
