About this study

The study examines the effect of black currant on glucose and insulin concentrations after a meal. In addition, the cytokine and free fatty acids levels are of interest.

Read the detailed description

The study examines the effect of black currant on glucose and insulin concentrations after a meal.

Healthy (n= 30) volunteers are recruited to participate in four consecutive visits in the research laboratory, when four meals are served in randomised order. Meals are: black currant puree, black currant and quinoa based snack, quinoa base and liquid containing glucose, fructose and sucrose. The meals contain the same amount of carbohydrates.

In addition to glucose and insulin concentration, cytokine and free fatty acid concentrations are measured after each meal.

Being tested
Black currant, Black currant-quinoa product, Quinoa base
Keywords

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Black currant, Black currant-quinoa product and Quinoa base in people with Postprandial Hyperglycemia and Prediabetic State, run by University of Eastern Finland at 1 site in Finland.

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 7 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 4 Sep 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 Finland. 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. 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?

Glucose concentration (time frame: 0 minutes until 180 minutes). 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 4 Sep 2020.
