About this study

Official title: The Effect of Daily Mango Intake (Mangifera Indica L.) on Cardiovascular Health

In the current proposal the investigators seek to evaluate the acute and short-term effects of mango intake on vascular and platelet function in postmenopausal women between 50 and 70 years old.

Our aims are 1) to determine if two weeks of daily mango intake will result in favorable changes in measures of vascular function, as measured using peripheral arterial tonometry (PAT) and platelet reactivity, in overweight and obese postmenopausal women. 2) to determine if two weeks of daily mango intake will change the fermentation capacity of gut microbiota.

Investigators hypothesize that the daily intake of 330 grams of mango (2 cups) will significantly increase PAT while reducing platelet aggregation after 2 hours and two weeks of daily intake.

Being tested
Mango, No intervention

What is being measured

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

  1. Acute vascular function

    Comparison of the effect of mango on acute vascular function between baseline and 2-hour postprandial response using PAT.

    Measured: change from baseline to 2 hours compared on days 0 14 and 28

  2. Long-term vascular function

    The effect of mango on long-term vascular function between baseline, two week, and four week time points using PAT

    Measured: Comparison of day 0, 14, and 28

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Acute platelet aggregation

    Comparison of the effect of mango on acute platelet aggregation between baseline and 2-hour postprandial time.

    Measured: change from baseline to 2 hours compared on days 0 14 and 28

  2. Long-term platelet aggregation

    Comparison of the effect of mango on long-term platelet aggregation baseline, two week, and four week time points.

    Measured: Comparison of day 0, 14, and 28

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Mango in people with Cardiovascular Risk Factor, run by University of California, Davis at 1 site in United States.

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 6 inclusion and 29 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 2 Sep 2022. 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 United States. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Acute vascular function (time frame: change from baseline to 2 hours compared on days 0 14 and 28). 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 2 Sep 2022.
