Trial summary

Obesity is one of the most important risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD). HDL protein composition can be altered without a change in cholesterol content. Alteration of the HDL proteome can result in dysfunctional HDL particles with reduced ability to protect against CVD. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effects of Moderate Aerobic Exercise on the Proteome and Function Alteration of HDL Sub-Fractions in Male Youth With Abdominal Obesity

Obesity is one of the most important risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD). HDL protein composition can be altered without a change in cholesterol content. Alteration of the HDL proteome can result in dysfunctional HDL particles with reduced ability to protect against CVD. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of moderate aerobic exercise on HDL protein composition and its related function. This was a self-control study including 6 inactive male youths with abdominal obesity. HDL functions and its associations with proteome alteration would be analysized.

Read the detailed description

The aim of present study is to test the effects of 12-week moderate aerobic exercise on the proteome and function alteration of HDL sub-fractions in male youth with abdominal obesity.

Study participants: youth males with abdominal obesity between the ages of 18 and 30 years were eligible for participation. Exclusion criteria were cardiovascular disease, diabetes or other chronic diseases, treatment with any medications, and had surgical procedures within the last 6 months. This study was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee at the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital, complies with the Declaration of Helsinki principles and written informed consent would be obtained from all participants.

Data collection: anthropometric measurements, physical examination and blood samples were collected at 0 and 12 weeks. Cardiorespiratory measurements of each participant was measured using a bicycle-based graded exercise test at baseline.

Intervention: the exercise intervention consisted of 12 weeks of aerobic exercise training of moderate intensity (about 75 percentage of peak heart rate) of 40-60 min per time, 3-5 times per week, at least 150 min per week. All participants were instructed to maintain their usual dietary intakes. Completing a minimum of 80 percentage training sessions was satisfactory.

HDL isolation: HDL particles were fractionated into small, medium and large (S/M/L)-HDL subfractions by an ÄKTA fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC) system.

Proteomics Experiments: equal volumes of L/M/S-HDL subclass were applied to the CSH resin, trypsinized, and then recognized via LC-MS. HDL proteins in HDL subclass were detected by MS-based label-free quantitation

HDL functions: cholesterol efflux capacity, anti-inflammation and anti-oxidative capacity, endothelial protective function

Analysis: data are expressed as mean and SD for continuous variables, or percentage for category variables. Difference of variables between baseline and after exercise were compared using analysis of Paired t-test or Mann Whitney U test. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant.

What is being measured

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

  1. The percentage change of HDL cholesterol efflux capacity

    The primary outcome was the mearsurement of HDL function for removing excess cholesterol from peripheral cells

    Measured: 12 week

  2. Proteome alteration of HDL subclass

    HDL proteome was analyzed by mass spectrometry using label-free protein quantification.

    Measured: 12 week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Aerobic exercise in people with Obesity, run by Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University at 1 site in China.

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 4 Mar 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 China. 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?

The percentage change of HDL cholesterol efflux capacity (time frame: 12 week). 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 Mar 2020.
