About this study

Official title: Effect of Exercise Training and Omega-3 Fatty Acids on Metabolic Health and Dysfunction of Adipose Tissue in Elderly

The aim of this project is to investigate in elderly women, the effect of combined aerobic and resistive training and concomitant supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids on adipogenesis, metabolic functions and pro-inflammatory status of adipose tissue and on systemic metabolic profile.

Read the detailed description

Aging is associated with development of disturbances of lipid and carbohydrate metabolism and with systemic pro-inflammatory state similarly to the alterations observed in obese individuals. Metabolic and immune dysfunction of adipose tissue has been suggested as an important contributing trigger to this condition. EXODYA project is a clinical study in elderly individuals that aims to establish benefits of lifestyle intervention and nutritional supplementation -either alone or in combination- for the amelioration of systemic and adipose tissue metabolic and immune disturbances. Effects of 4 months´ intervention with combined aerobic plus resistive exercise training and supplementation with omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids on systemic metabolic profile and molecular characteristics of adipose tissue will be investigated in elderly women. Thus, a proof-of-concept will be provided for novel recommendations and guidelines for lifestyle interventions in elderly population

What participants receive

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

  • Exercise trainingBehavioural

    Combined aerobic and resistive training 3 times a week for 4 months. The strength training will be performed at moderate intensity (i.e., 50-60% of RM), and moderate volume (i.e., 2 to 3 sets per exercise). Endurance training will be performed at moderate- to high-intensity (i.e., 60-85% of VO2max) in the form of continuous and interval training (for high intensities), respectively. The training intensity will be prescribed individually on the basis of the initial exercise testing. Subjects will be thoroughly instructed on effective home-based exercise and advised to exercise in total 5 days a week.

  • omega 3 supplementationDietary supplement

    Also called Calanus oil

    Capsules with high content of omega 3 fatty acids (Calanus oil) will be taken every day with lunch meal. The content of omega-3 fatty acids (EPA, DHA) per day should reach 250 mg.

  • placeboDietary supplement

    Also called sunflower oil

    Capsules with content of omega 6 fatty acids (sunflower oil) will be taken every day with lunch meal.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Exercise + Omega 3 supplementationExperimentalSubjects will be enrolled in physical activity program that consists of combined aerobic and resistive training 3 times a week for 4 months. Training will be supervised by physiotherapists experienced in exercise training of elderly (Senior Fitness, and Faculty of Physical Education and Sport). Subjects will take 5 capsules od Calanus oil (containing approx. 250 mg EPA and DHA per day).
Receives: Behavioral: Exercise training; Dietary Supplement: omega 3 supplementation
Exercise + placeboPlacebo comparatorSubjects will be enrolled in physical activity program that consists of combined aerobic and resistive training 3 times a week for 4 months. Training will be supervised by physiotherapists experienced in exercise training of elderly. Subjects will take 5 capsules od placebo per day (provided by Calanus oil company, containing sunflower oil).
Receives: Behavioral: Exercise training; Dietary Supplement: placebo

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in adipose tissue inflammation

    analysis of distribution of immune cells (flow cytometry analysis)

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  2. Change in adipose tissue inflammatory signalling

    analysis of pro-resolving mediators (UPLC-MS/MS methodology)

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change in insulin sensitivity

    Hyperinsulinemic izoglycemic clamp (GDR-glucose disposal rate)

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  2. Change in physical performance

    Maximum graded exercise test on bicycle ergometer (Vo2max)

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  3. Change in gene expression in adipose tissue

    mRNA expression of metabolic and inflammatory genes in adipose tissue

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Exercise training and omega 3 supplementation in people with Metabolism Disorder and Adiposity, run by Charles University, Czech Republic at 1 site in Czechia.

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 17 Feb 2020. 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 Czechia. 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?

Change in adipose tissue inflammation (time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03386461, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 17 Feb 2020.
