About this study

Official title: Glycemic Index and Insulinemic Index of 3 Types of Tortilla in Mexican Adults With Overweight or Diabetes or Clinically Healthy

Objective. To evaluate the effect of the intake of two types of whole corn tortilla and one traditional tortilla on glycemic index (GI) and insulinemic index (InIn) in adults with diabetes, or overweight or clinically healthy.

Material and methods. Type crossover clinical trial in adults 20-69 years. Three groups of participants will be included for each category (n = 27 in each group): 1) adults with diabetes, b) adults with overweight c) clinically healthy adults. The glycemic and insulinemic index will be measure for each group of participants given in random order the following foods: 1) a whole corn tortilla (white "criollo" corn= 5.3% fiber), 2) a whole corn tortilla (white "hybrid" corn= 7.9%), 3) a traditional corn tortilla (3.9% fiber), and 4) white bread (reference food containing 2.2% of fiber). For the calculation of GI and InIn will be follow the "FAO" methodology. For the evaluation of each food left the range of 1 week.

Objective. To evaluate the effect of the intake of two types of whole corn tortilla, and one traditional tortilla on Glycemic Index (GI) and Insulinemic Index (InIn) in adults with diabetes, or overweight or clinically healthy.

Material and methods. A randomised crossover, single-blinded study design will be undertake in adults 20-69 years. The study will use 3-arm: 1) Adults with diabetes (n=27); b) adults with overweight (n=27); and c) clinically healthy adults (n=27). During a week run-in period subjects will record their normal habitual diet for 7d. Individuals will be request to maintain their normal exercise, and sleeping patterns before reporting for testing.

Upon arrival to the laboratory, participants will be weight and body composition was determined. Overnight fasted (8-12 hours) participants reported to the Research Center of Mexican National Institute of Public Health on 4 occasions separated by at least one week. The glycemic and insulinemic index will be measure for each group of participants given in random order the following foods with a 1-week washout period in between: 1) a whole corn tortilla (white "criollo" corn= 5.3% fiber), 2) a whole corn tortilla (white "hybrid" corn= 7.9%), 3) a traditional corn tortilla (3.9% fiber), and 4) white bread (reference food containing 2.2% of fiber). The rations shall be 50g of carbohydrates available each (approximately equivalent to 4 tortillas or 4 breads, respectively).

Blood samples were collected again at 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 minutes after completion of the test meal. Insulin and glucose will be measure by electrochemiluminescence and the hexokinase method, respectively. The GI values were determined according to Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). The area under the curve will be calculated as the incremental area under the blood glucose response curve for each test in each individual. This study and the sampling of the volunteers were performed following approval of the ethics Committee of Mexican National Public Health Institute

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 3 tortillas and white bread in people with Diabetes and Overweight, run by Mexican National Institute of Public Health at 1 site in Mexico.

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 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Mar 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 Mexico. 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. 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?

Glycemic index (time frame: 2 hours). 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?
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 16 Mar 2016.
