About this study

Official title: A Single-center, Crossover, Randomized and Controlled Nutritional Intervention Clinical Trial. A Nutritional Intervention Study

The present study will assess whether the beneficial effects of a market moderate-alcohol drinking in the form of white wine in humans could be derived from the endogenous formation of hydroxytyrosol (also known DOPET), a potent dietary anti-inflammatory and antioxidant molecule.

Read the detailed description

Epidemiological studies support that light to moderate alcohol drinking (10-20g per day), may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), stroke, dementia, depression, and all-cause mortality. In addition, moderate red wine consumption has recently shown to be inversely associated with a decline in global cognitive function and the domains of memory and flexibility. The claimed beneficial effects of the Mediterranean diet include prevention of several age-related dysfunctions including cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. These effects have been related to the protection against cognitive decline associated with aging and disease by a number of polyphenols found in red wine and virgin olive oil. Neurodegenerative diseases, as all chronic degenerative diseases, are linked to inflammation and its inter-twined phenomena: the oxidation and the oxidative damage. The interrelationship among chronic degenerative diseases is also evidenced by the fact that vascular (cardiovascular) risk factors are associated to cognitive decline, and these vascular factors are currently the only known modifiable risk factors for Alzheimer disease.

There is evidence suggesting that DOPET, also known as hydroxytyrosol (HOTYR), has a role in the cardioprotective and neuroprotective properties of wine. It is a phenolic compound present in virgin olive oil and wine, and it is a potent dietary anti-inflammatory and antioxidant molecule. Biological effects of HOTYR may explain in part some of the beneficial effects for human health that have been credited to moderate ethanol intake (in form of wine).

The present project is not intended to provide support for the clinical use of moderate- dose alcohol as a treatment modality for CVD risk patients. Nevertheless, it will investigate a novel mechanism of action that may explain in part beneficial health effects associated to moderate alcohol consumption. This novel mechanism of action is mediated by compounds that at mid/long-term run are susceptible of a pharmaceutical and/or nutraceutical food development.

What participants receive

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

  • white wineOther

    A dietary beverage: a market white wine, 13º alcohol

  • tyrosolDietary supplement

    tyrosol in capsules

Study groups in NCT02783989
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
White wineActive comparatorTwo glasses of a market white wine (2x135 mL, 13º), each (135 mL) equivalent to 14 g of ethanol (in case of women only one glass, 135 mL), being the daily dose of 28 g (14 g in women). It is estimated that wine will contain about 8-9 mg/l of tyrosol. Therefore the dose of tyrosol ingested in two glasses would be 2-2.5 mg (1-1.25 mg in women).

What is being measured

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

    Measured: change from baseline at 4 weeks

  2. Vascular effects: changes in endothelial function

    It will be measured in the morning by monitoring endothelium-mediated changes in the digital pulse waveform, known as the Peripheral Arterial Tone (PAT) signal.

    Measured: change from baseline at 4 weeks

  3. Metabolic effects (n=12)

    Additionally, 12 participants will be asked to collect a 24-hour urine specimen at two intervals (0-8 h and 8-24 h) the first day of each intervention, following the treatment ingestion (n=12).

    Measured: up to 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (10)

    Measured: change from baseline at 4 weeks

  7. changes in inflammation enzymes

    High sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP) (immunoturbidimetry) in plasma by high sensitivity enzyme-immunoassays (ELISAs)

    Measured: change from baseline at 4 weeks

  8. change in endothelial function

    Nitric oxide (NO) plasma concentrations will be measured through nitrates/nitrites ratio by colorimetry and those of Endothelin-1 by ELISA (both techniques from Cayman Chem. Co., Ann Arbor, USA).

    Measured: change from baseline endothelial function at 4 weeks

  9. Alcohol biomarker

    Ethyl glucuronide in urine by Thermo Scientific Ethyl Glucuronide Enzyme Immunoassay.

    Measured: change from baseline at 4 weeks

  10. Gene expression

    Microfluidic cards (TaqMan® Gene Expression Array Microfluidic Card, 32.1 format, Applied Biosystems), 30 genes related with endothelial function and inflammation of a sub-sample of 30 subjects (15 by gender) will be determined in peripheral blood mononucleated cell (PBMC).

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?

Metabolic: changes in hydroxytyrosol generation (time frame: change from baseline at 4 weeks). The study lists 3 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.
