About this study

Official title: Postprandial Plasma Nutrient Differences Between Baked Beef, Baked Herring and Pickled Herring.

While observational studies often find that diets rich in fish reduce the risk of disease, and that diets including a high intake of red meat are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer, the difference in health effects between red meat and fish are rarely researched in intervention studies.

The investigators hypothesise that the post-prandial plasma response of lipids and markers of cardiovascular disease risk will be more favourable after intake of herring compared to beef.

In addition, while pickling herring in a brine/sugar solution is a common form of preparation, little is known if there is a difference in potential health effects based on the preparation of herring. The investigators will compare baked and pickled herring to understand if preparation is potentially an important factor to be considered when looking at intake of fish and health.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Baked beef, Baked herring and Pickled herring in people with Cardiovascular Disease, run by Chalmers University of Technology.

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 4 inclusion and 4 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 6 Mar 2015. 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?

Omega-3 fatty acids (time frame: Area under the curve between 0 and 7 hours). 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 NCT02381613, 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 6 Mar 2015.
