About this study
Official title: Effects of Resveratrol on Insulin Sensitivity, Brown Adipose Tissue and Metabolic Profile in First-degree Relatives of Type 2 Diabetic Patients
The main objective of the study is to investigate if resveratrol supplementation can improve overall and muscle-specific insulin sensitivity in first-degree relatives of type 2 diabetic patients.
As a secondary objective the investigators want to investigate whether the improved insulin sensitivity can be attributed to improved muscle mitochondrial oxidative capacity and a reduced intrahepatic and cardiac lipid content. Furthermore, in a subset of the participants the investigators want to investigate the effect of resveratrol on glucose uptake in brown adipose tissue.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
placeboDietary supplement
A placebo will given for 30 days or 34 days (if included in brown adipose tissue measurement), twice daily. One pill will be provided with lunch, and the other pill will be provided with dinner.
resveratrolDietary supplement

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
insulin sensitivity: overall, muscle- and liver specific
Hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp combined with indirect calorimetry: Glucose infusion rate (GIR), rate of appearance and disappearance of glucose (Ra, Rd), endogenous glucose production (EGP), oxidative and non-oxidative glucose disposal, carbohydrate and lipid oxidation, energy expenditure.
Measured: 30 days after supplementation
Secondary outcomes (6)
muscle mitochondrial oxidative capacity (in vivo and ex vivo)
In vivo: Phosphocreatine levels will be measured by P-MRS (before, during, and after exercise) as a marker for in vivo mitochondrial function in the vastus lateralis muscle.
Ex vivo mitochondrial function in skeletal muscle will be measured by oxygen consumption in muscle fibres (muscle biopsy) on lipid-derived and carbohydrate-derived substrates.
Measured: 30 days after supplementation
intramyocellular lipid content
Skeletal muscle lipid accumulation measured by immunohistochemistry in muscle biopsy from vastus lateralis muscle
Measured: 30 days after supplementation
intrahepatic lipid content
Intrahepatic lipid content measured with H-MRS
Measured: 30 days after supplementation
intracardiac lipid content
Intracardiac lipid content measured with H-MRS
Measured: 30 days after supplementation
heart function
Cardiac function: diastolic and systolic heart function will be measured with ultrasound
Measured: 30 days after supplementation
brown adipose tissue activity
subjects will be exposed to an individualized cooling protocol, after which an 18F-FDG PET/CT scan is made
Measured: 34 days after supplementation

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing resveratrol in people with Pre-diabetes, run by Maastricht University Medical Center at 1 site in Netherlands.
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 19 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 8 Aug 2017. 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 Netherlands. 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?
insulin sensitivity: overall, muscle- and liver specific (time frame: 30 days after supplementation). 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 NCT02129595, 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 8 Aug 2017; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
