About this study

Official title: The Effect of an Antioxidant-rich Kindergarten Diet on Oxidative Stress in Healthy Preschool Children

Uncontrolled and prolonged oxidative stress plays an important role in the onset and progression of cardiovascular disease, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and various cancers. Given that many diseases can start as early as childhood, eating patterns in childhood and preventing oxidative damage can have beneficial long-term health effects. Antioxidant-rich foods can slow down the progression of chronic diseases.

In Slovenian kindergartens (and schools) children consume up to 70% of their daily energy and nutritional needs, so what is offered to them is very important. This study will evaluate the hypothesis that providing an antioxidant-rich diet in kindergartens can result in the reduction of biomarkers of oxidative stress.

What is being measured

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

  1. Oxidative stress biomarkers

    Change in oxidative stress biomarkers of lipids (malondialdehyde (MDA), and four F2 - isoprostane isomers, namely 8 -iso-prostaglandin F2α (8-PGF2α), 11ß- prostaglandin F2α (11-PGF2α), 15 (R)-prostaglandin F2α (15-PGF 2α) and 8-iso, 15 prostaglandin F2α (8,15-PGF2α) ; proteins (o,o'-dityrosine (diY) and DNA 8-Hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OhdG) between day 1 and day 15 of the intervention diet, measured by HPLC-MS/MS

    Measured: 2 weeks

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?

Oxidative stress biomarkers (time frame: 2 weeks). 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 NCT04252105, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 15 Mar 2022.
