About this study

Official title: Effect of Grape Seed Extract on Modulation of Oxidative Stress/ Inflammation/ Insulin Sensitivity Induced by High Fat-carbohydrate Meal in Healthy Human Subjects

The proposed study aims to investigate that consumption of grape seed extract (GSE) would improve antioxidant status and impaired insulin action following consumption of a pro-oxidative high carbohydrate, high fat (HCHF) meal in healthy human subjects.

Read the detailed description

This study is a single-center, double blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, 2-arm, 2-sequence, crossover study

A planned sample size of 15 will be recruited into the study. This study will require one initial screening, one pre-study visit, two 6-hour study visits. The study will take 2-5 weeks per subject to complete.

The initial screening visit will provide subjects an Institutional Review Board approved consent document and determine subject eligibility through BMI calculated from height and weight measurements, vital signs, fasting blood glucose test (finger prick), lipid profiles (3 ml blood sampling via a butterfly needle device) and completion of a questionnaire related to general eating, health, and exercise habits.

If subjects are willing and eligible to participate, a 3-day food record (2 weekdays and 1 weekend day) will be instructed at the initial screening visit and collected at the pre-study visit to assess subjects' usual dietary intake pattern. After reviewing food records, subjects will be instructed to avoid any grapes, grape products, berries, berry products throughout the study and strictly follow a limited polyphenolic diet for 3 days prior to each 6-hr study visit, while maintaining their usual diet pattern and physical activity. Prior to each study visit, subject will be advised to have the same or similar dinner meal to control the second meal effect from food and beverage intake of the night before each study visit.

Subjects will arrive at the center after ~10 hours overnight fasting, well hydrated and rested. Each study visit will require blood draws throughout the visit. After pre-study procedures (height, weight, waist circumferences, vital sign, and fasting blood glucose test), a registered nurse will place a catheter in subject's arm for the purpose of multiple blood sample collections and collect fasting blood sample. During each study visit, subject will take one of the two capsules right after fasting blood draw), based on randomization sequences (either 1 grape seed extract capsule or 1 placebo capsule). One hour after administration of the assigned capsule, blood samples will be collected. And a standard high carbohydrate and high fat breakfast meal will be served and subject will have blood draws at designated time up to 5 hours.

What is being measured

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

  1. Changes in insulin and glucose concentrations over 6 hours after the Grape Seed Extract Capsule administration

    The timing influence of the Grape Seed Extract administration on insulin and glucose concentrations in relative to the standard meal intake (1 hour before the meal and 5 hours after the meal)

    Measured: 6 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Changes in oxidative stress markers and inflammatory markers over 6 hours after the Grape Seed Extract Capsule administration

    The timing influence of grape seed extract administration on oxidative stress markers and inflammatory markers in relative to the standard meal intake (1 hour before the meal and 5 hours after the meal)

    Measured: 6 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Active Capsule in people with Polyphenolic Compounds and Metabolism, run by Clinical Nutrition Research Center, Illinois Institute of Technology 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 11 inclusion and 18 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 27 Jul 2021. 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. 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?

Changes in insulin and glucose concentrations over 6 hours after the Grape Seed Extract Capsule administration (time frame: 6 hours). 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 27 Jul 2021.
