About this study

Official title: Effects of Acute Grape Seed Extract Supplementation on Hemodynamics in Obese Males

This study investigated if elevated BP and aortic stiffness characterized in obese individuals are attenuated following acute grape seed extract supplementation. It is hypothesized that acute dietary supplementation with grape seed extract attenuates aortic stiffness, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, and total peripheral resistance and these effects are partially due to reductions in peripheral vasoconstriction

Read the detailed description

Twenty men (obese = 10; normal body weight (NBW) = 10) participated in this study. Effects of placebo (PL: 600 mg) and GSE (600 mg) on systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), stroke volume (SV), cardiac output (Q), total peripheral resistance (TPR), and AoS were compared 2 h after ingestion of GSE or PL on different days, one week apart. Arterial blood pressure was measured using a sphygmomanometer from a brachial artery at the level of the heart on chair. HR and SV were continuously measured using a non-invasive device (Physio Flow). CO was calculated by HR X SV. TPR was calculated by MAP/CO.

What is being measured

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

  1. change in heart rate

    beats per minute

    Measured: 2 hours after each supplementation

  2. change in stroke volume

    volume per stroke

    Measured: 2 hours after each supplementation

  3. change in cardiac output

    total volume for a minute

    Measured: 2 hours after each supplementation

  4. change in systolic blood pressure

    pressure exerted during contraction

    Measured: 2 hours after each supplementation

  5. change in diastolic blood pressure

    pressure exerted during relaxation

    Measured: 2 hours after each supplementation

  6. change in mean arterial pressure

    One reported pressure (systolic blood pressure-diastolic blood pressure)/3 + diastolic blood pressure

    Measured: 2 hours after each supplementation

  7. change in total peripheral resistance

    One reported value (mean arterial pressure/cardiac output)

    Measured: 2 hours after each supplementation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Grape seed extract in people with Obesity, run by California Baptist University at 1 site in United States.

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 15 May 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 United States. 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?

change in heart rate (time frame: 2 hours after each supplementation). The study lists 7 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 15 May 2020.
