Trial summary

Supplementation with citrus bioflavonoids (hesperidin, naringin, diosmin and eriocitrin, among others) has been associated with an improvement in the glycidic and lipid profile, reduction of insulin resistance and systemic inflammation, and reduction of endothelial damage.

About this study

Official title: Therapeutic Intervention of Eriocitrin in Reducing Hyperglycemia in Pre-diabetic Subjects: Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled Crossover Clinical Trial

Supplementation with citrus bioflavonoids (hesperidin, naringin, diosmin and eriocitrin, among others) has been associated with an improvement in the glycidic and lipid profile, reduction of insulin resistance and systemic inflammation, and reduction of endothelial damage. This study aims to evaluate the effects of eriocitrin supplementation on the metabolic parameters of pre-diabetic individuals. Participants will be adults with pre-diabetes who will receive 200 mg / d of eriocitrin. Before, during and after treatment, anthropometric measures (weight, body composition and circumferences), biochemical (lipid and glucose profile, inflammatory parameters, endothelial markers, liver function, renal function) will be evaluated. Metabolic parameters that constitute risk factors for diabetes and associated chronic diseases are expected to be improved by supplementation with eriocitrin.

Read the detailed description

Individuals aged 35-60 years and who present at least one of the following criteria: (1) increased fasting blood glucose from 6.1 to 7.0 mmol / L, (2) decreased glucose tolerance of 7 , 8 to 11.1 mmol / L, and (3) glycated hemoglobin with values between 5.7 and 6.4% 10 will be eligible to participate in this study. The exclusion criteria will be to use hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic drugs, dietary supplements (vitamins, minerals, bioflavonoids, prebiotics, probiotics or other bioactive compounds), exercise intensely (more than 10 hours per week), history of cardiovascular diseases , diabetes mellitus, liver and kidney disease.

The selected individuals will be distributed randomly in 2 groups through random number generator program. Group A (n = 20) will receive 200 mg / d of eriocitrin for 12 weeks, with washout for 2 weeks and then receive 200 mg / d of placebo for 12 weeks; group B (n = 20) will receive 200 mg / d placebo for 12 weeks with washout for 2 weeks and then receive 200 mg / d placebo for 12 weeks.

The primary endpoint will be fasting blood glucose, blood glucose 2 hours after oral glucose tolerance test (GTTO), and HbA1c. The secondary endpoint will be insulin, HOMA-IR, total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, ALP, yGT, AST, ALT, TNF-α, IL-6, CRP, body weight, body mass index BMI), muscle mass, fat mass, body fat and waist-hip ratio, and macronutrient intake.

What participants receive

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

  • EriocitrinDietary supplement

    A crossover, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical study with a duration of 26 weeks will be performed. All individuals and the principal investigator will remain blind to treatment until all analyzes are completed.

    Participants will be invited to attend 12-hour fasting to measure glucose levels, glycated hemoglobin and to perform the glucose tolerance test, in addition to an individual interview (Appendix B) to confirm eligibility according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria . The collection of blood and the glycemic curves will be performed at the beginning of the first, 12th, 14th and 26th week in the Laboratory of Clinical Analyzes ( Araraquara)

    At the beginning of the first, 12th, 14th and 26th week the following anthropometric parameters will be evaluated: body weight (kg), muscle mass (kg), fat mass (kg), body fat (%) (InBody 720, Biospace, Tokyo, Japan ) and waist-hip ratio.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Eriocitrin in people with Pre Diabetes, run by São Paulo State University at 1 site in Brazil.

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 4 inclusion and 4 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 23 Oct 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 Brazil. 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?

Fasting glycemia (time frame: 0-12-18-26 week). 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 23 Oct 2020.
