Trial summary

The objective of the study is to assess the effect of two diets with different fat composition on cholesterol metabolism. The study was a randomized cross-over trial where volunteers follow two study periods with different types of meat (lean and fat red meat) separately by a ten days wash-out period.

About this study

Official title: A Randomized Study to Assess the Effect of Different Fat Enriched Meats on the Hepatic Cholesterol Synthesis

The objective of the study is to assess the effect of two diets with different fat composition on cholesterol metabolism. The study was a randomized cross-over trial where volunteers follow two study periods with different types of meat (lean and fat red meat) separately by a ten days wash-out period. At the beginning of the study and after the study periods the following parameters are determined: anthropometric (weight, waist, circumference and body mass index), blood pressure, dietary (72-hours dietary registry) and exercise assessments and biochemical analysis (total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, apolipoprotein A1, apolipoprotein B, iron, transferring, ferritin, uric acid, glucose, HbA1c and insulin). Serum concentration of non cholesterol sterols (sitosterol, campesterol, stigmasterol, desmosterol and lanosterol) and oxysterols (24S-hydroxycholesterol, 27-hydroxycholesterol and 7α-hydroxycholestenone) were measured by High Performance Liquid Chromatography tandem Mass Spectrometry in these subjects throughout along the study in order to demonstrate the effect of different red meat on the hepatic metabolism of cholesterol.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Changes in cholesterol metabolism, Lean red meat diet and Fat red meat diet in people with Lipid Metabolism Disorders and Sterols, run by Instituto Aragones de Ciencias de la Salud.

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 2 inclusion and 2 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 Oct 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

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 lipid profile (time frame: Baseline and after 10 days of intervention). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02259153, 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 Oct 2014; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
