About this study
The purpose of the proposed pilot study is to evaluate the effects of a soy protein isolate with naturally occurring isoflavones on the properties of HDL-C (total HDL-C, HDL particle size and HDL function), central blood pressure, and indices of arterial stiffness.
Read the detailed description
The investigators propose to conduct a randomized three-period, crossover study to evaluate the effect of soy protein supplementation on HDL function. To ensure that there are no effects of treatment order on outcome measures, subjects will be randomized to a treatment sequence. Healthy males and females (n = 20; 35 to 60 years of age) with systolic blood pressure greater than 120 mm Hg and/or diastolic blood pressure greater than 80 mm Hg will be recruited for this study. Subjects will undergo 3 treatment periods in random order. These treatment periods will include: A) 25 g/d soy protein powder; B) 50 g/d soy protein powder; C) 0 g/d protein powder (control). Each treatment will be provided for 6 weeks separated by a 2-week break between treatment periods. All subjects will be encouraged to maintain body weight and physical activity levels during the study.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
The purpose of the proposed pilot study is to evaluate the effects of a soy protein isolate with naturally occurring isoflavones on the properties of HDL-C (total HDL-C, HDL particle size and HDL function), central blood pressure, and indices of arterial stiffness.
Detailed description
The investigators propose to conduct a randomized three-period, crossover study to evaluate the effect of soy protein supplementation on HDL function. To ensure that there are no effects of treatment order on outcome measures, subjects will be randomized to a treatment sequence.

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.

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?
HDL function (RCT) as measured by cholesterol efflux. (time frame: Baseline). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 21 Aug 2023.
