Trial summary

The objective of this research is to characterize the urinary metabolites produced after the consumption of mango pulp in an effort to begin to characterize the bioavailability of the major group of polyphenolics in mango, ester-linked gallic acids, and to provide new insight into their in vivo physiological behavior.

About this study

Official title: Profile of Metabolites After the Intake of Mango (Mangifera Indica, l.) Var. Keitt in Humans

The objective of this research is to characterize the urinary metabolites produced after the consumption of mango pulp in an effort to begin to characterize the bioavailability of the major group of polyphenolics in mango, ester-linked gallic acids, and to provide new insight into their in vivo physiological behavior.

Read the detailed description

Eleven healthy volunteers (2 male, 9 female) who had no medical history of digestive disorders or chronic diseases participated in the 10-day mango consumption study. They were aged between 21-38 years and with a weight between 45-95 kg. Participants were asked to stop taking dietary supplements for 1 week prior to the study begin and study duration and asked to avoid excessive exercise and alcohol consumption 3 days prior to the start of the study day 1 and study day 10. Participants were also required to fill out a 72-hour nutritional report at home that detailed their food consumption over the previous 3 days leading up to the first and tenth day and were reviewed for compliance. All participants fasted from fruit and vegetables, coffee and tea one day prior to study day 1 and 10 and were asked to bring in a stool sample collected prior to consumption of mango on the first day of the study. After an overnight fast of at least 12 hours, urine collections were made (baseline) and a baseline blood draw was taken from each participant. Each participant was given 400 grams of mango to consume and urine collections were made at 0-3, 3-6, 6-8, and 8-12 hours. The volume of urine was recorded and an aliquot immediately frozen at -80°C until analysis. Blood samples were also taken at 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12hrs, collected in heparinized tubes and centrifuged for 10 mins at 4000 x g, 4°C. Supernatant (plasma) was aliquoted into 2mL samples, acidified with 50 μL 85% formic acid, and immediately frozen at -80° C until analysis. Participants were given 400 grams of mango to consume daily for the next eight days and the study design was repeated again on the 10th day. After completion of the tenth day of study, stool samples were collected and immediately frozen at -20°C for microbial analysis.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change from baseline in the levels of metabolites of gallic acid in urine after mango intake.

    Aliquoted urine samples were thawed and centrifuged at 13,000 x g for 10 mins at 4°C immediately prior to analysis by HPLC-MSn. All quantification of metabolites (pyrogalloyl-O-glucuronide, O-methyl-gallic acid, O-methylgallic acid-O-sulfate, O-methylpyrogalloyl-O-sulfate, pyrogalloyl-O-sulfate, deoxypyrogallol-O-sulfate, O-methylpyrogalloyl-O-sulfate) was performed in full MS and expressed as gallic acid equivalents. To standardize the concentration of metabolites for the sake of comparison across varying weights, heights, and volume of urine collected by each participant; urinary creatinine concentrations were calculated for each sample using a routine Creatinine enzyme assay kit (Sigma-Aldrich). All values are expressed as mg of standard/10 mg creatinine (mg gallic acid equivalent /10mg creatinine).

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Mango polyphenolics and Sugary beverage in people with Absorption; Chemicals, run by Texas A&M University 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 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 18 Oct 2016. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Change from baseline in the levels of metabolites of gallic acid in urine after mango intake. (time frame: 1 year). 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 18 Oct 2016.
