About this study

Official title: Postprandial Response After Intake of Meals With Different Fatty Acid Composition in Patients With Familial Hypercholesterolemia and Healthy Subjects

The aim of the study is to understand more about how different fatty acids modulate postprandial lipid metabolism and inflammatory response.

Being tested
SFA muffin, PUFA muffin
Medical subject headings
Hyperlipoproteinemia Type II

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • SFA muffinDietary supplement

    Muffin rich in saturated fat.

  • PUFA muffinDietary supplement

    Muffin rich in polyunsaturated fat.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in levels of circulating triglycerides

    Measured: Measured at baseline and 2,4 and 6 hours after intake of test meal

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Changes in markers of lipid- and glucose metabolism

    Changes in levels of total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, high-density lipoprotein, apolipoprotein (apo) B, apo A1, apo CIII, apo B48, lipoprotein (a), free fatty acids, total fatty acid composition, LDL-receptor-related protein with 11 ligand-binding repeats (LR11), HbA1c, glucose, insulin and troponin.

    Measured: Measured at baseline and 2,4 and 6 hours after intake of test meal

  2. Changes in circulating levels of inflammatory markers

    Changes in levels of inflammatory markers in circulation such as i.e. cytokines and hsCRP

    Measured: Measured at baseline and 2,4 and 6 hours after intake of test meal

  3. Changes in PBMC gene expression levels of markers of inflammation and lipid metabolism

    Changes in levels of markers of inflammation and lipid metabolism at PBMC gene expression level

    Measured: Measured at baseline and 2, 4 and 6 hours after intake of test meal

  4. Changes in lipid classes and lipoprotein size

    Measured: Measured at baseline and 2,4 and 6 hours after intake of test meal

  5. Changes in plasma and urine metabolomics

    Changes in metabolites such as glucose, lactate, pyruvate, citrate and amino acids will be measured in plasma and urine.

    Measured: Measured in plasma at baseline and 2,4 and 6 hours after intake of test meal. Measured in urine at fasting state and during the 6 hour postprandial phase.

  6. Check DNA for single nuclear polymorphisms

    Measured: Measured at baseline and 2,4 and 6 hours after intake of test meal

  7. Changes in PBMC Whole genome transcriptomics

    Measured: Measured at baseline and 4 and 6 hours after intake of test meal

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing SFA muffin and PUFA muffin in people with Healthy and Familial Hypercholesterolemia, run by University of Oslo at 1 site in Norway.

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 8 inclusion and 11 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 30 Jun 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 Norway. 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?

Change in levels of circulating triglycerides (time frame: Measured at baseline and 2,4 and 6 hours after intake of test meal). 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 30 Jun 2016.
