About this study

Official title: Effect of the Consumption of Burgers Prepared With Wine Grape Pomace Flour, Rich in Fiber and Antioxidants, on Components of the Metabolic Syndrome in Humans

Wine grape pomace flour (WGPF) is a fruit byproduct high in fiber and antioxidants. The effect of WGPF consumption was tested on blood biochemical parameters including oxidative stress biomarkers. In a 3-month intervention study, 27 male volunteers, each with some components of metabolic syndrome, consumed a beef burger supplemented with 7% WGPF containing 3.5% of fiber and 1.2 mg GE/g of polyphenols (WGPF-burger), daily during the first month. The volunteers consumed no burgers in the second month, and one control burger daily in the third month. At baseline and after these periods, there were evaluated metabolic syndrome components, plasma antioxidant status [2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging capacity (DPPH),uric acid, vitamin E, vitamin C], and oxidative damage markers [advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP), oxidized low-density lipoproteins (oxLDL), malondialdehyde (MDA)].

Read the detailed description

The intervention was carried out at workplaces in Santiago, Chile. Workers were informed about the study and invited to participate. Initially, 34 male workers meeting all criteria agreed to partake, however 27 workers completed the study. Seven volunteers quit the study because three disliked the blood sampling procedure, two were sent to work abroad, one left the workplace, and one presented gastrointestinal symptoms associated with WGPF-burger consumption.

The volunteers entered a longitudinal trial consisting of two treatment periods of 4 weeks, separated by a third four-week wash-out period. For the first 4 weeks, they consumed one WGPF-burger daily, then they were washed-out and finally they consumed one control-burger daily during 4 weeks. They were asked to maintain their regular eating habits and lifestyle during the study, except for the daily intake of burgers during the treatment periods. The burgers were eaten in replacement of red or processed meat consumption, or in addition to their regular meal when it did not contain meat products. During the washout period, all subjects consumed their usual diet. Burger intake was supervised every day at lunch at the canteens of the workplaces. On weekends, participants were asked to consume burgers at home with their regular meals. In addition, compliance with burger consumption was carefully monitored by frequent calls from the dietitian.

Blood samples were obtained at weeks 0, 4, 8, and 12 for analysis. Participants had clinical, nutritional, and anthropometric evaluations at the beginning and the end of the study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Metabolic syndrome components

    The presence of metabolic syndrome components was defined using the criteria proposed by the Adult Treatment Panel III of the US National Cholesterol Education Program: (i) abdominal obesity as waist circumference >102 cm for men; (ii) low levels (<40 mg/dL for men) of serum high density lipoprotein cholesterol; (iii) hypertriglyceridemia as 150 mg/dL or more; (iv) elevated blood pressure as 130/85 mm Hg or higher; and (v) impaired glucose homeostasis as fasting plasma glucose levels of 100 mg/dL or higher

    Measured: Month 1, WFPG-burger consumption

  2. Metabolic syndrome components

    The presence of metabolic syndrome components was defined using the criteria proposed by the Adult Treatment Panel III of the US National Cholesterol Education Program: (i) abdominal obesity as waist circumference >102 cm for men; (ii) low levels (<40 mg/dL for men) of serum high density lipoprotein cholesterol; (iii) hypertriglyceridemia as 150 mg/dL or more; (iv) elevated blood pressure as 130/85 mm Hg or higher; and (v) impaired glucose homeostasis as fasting plasma glucose levels of 100 mg/dL or higher

    Measured: Month 3, control burger consumption

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Insulin

    Fasting plasma Insulin was measured by electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA; Roche Diagnostics®).

    Measured: Month 1, WFPG-burger consumption

  2. Insulin

    Fasting plasma Insulin was measured by electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA; Roche Diagnostics®).

    Measured: Month 3, control burger consumption

  3. Antioxidants

    Antioxidants measurements: 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging capacity (DPPH), uric acid, vitamin E, vitamin C

    Measured: Month 1, WFPG-burger consumption

  4. Antioxidants

    Antioxidants measurements: 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging capacity (DPPH), uric acid, vitamin E, vitamin C

    Measured: Month 3, control burger consumption

  5. Oxidative stress

    Oxidative stress markers: Advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP), oxidized low-density lipoproteins (oxLDL), malondialdehyde (MDA)

    Measured: Month 1, WFPG-burger consumption

  6. Oxidative stress

    Oxidative stress markers: Advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP), oxidized low-density lipoproteins (oxLDL), malondialdehyde (MDA)

    Measured: Month 3, control burger consumption

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing WGPF-burger in people with Food Selection and Metabolic Syndrome, run by Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile.

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 1 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 19 Jul 2018. 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. 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?

Metabolic syndrome components (time frame: Month 1, WFPG-burger consumption). 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 19 Jul 2018.
