Trial summary

It was demonstrated that acute dietary supplementation with GSE reduced arterial blood pressure via reduction in Q in obese individuals. However, no studies have investigated the chronic effects of dietary GSE supplementation on hemodynamic responses during exercise. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effects of Chronic Dietary Grape Seed Extract Supplementation on Aortic Stiffness and Hemodynamic Responses in Obese/Overweight Males During Submaximal Exercise

It was demonstrated that acute dietary supplementation with GSE reduced arterial blood pressure via reduction in Q in obese individuals. However, no studies have investigated the chronic effects of dietary GSE supplementation on hemodynamic responses during exercise. Given the fact that obesity is associated with an impaired function of eNOS, the effect of chronic dietary GSE supplementation on abnormal blood pressure response to exercise and aortic stiffness (AoS) needs be elucidated. Thus, it is hypothesized that GSE decreases systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), Q, and aortic stiffness at rest and during exercise. This study would determine that this supplementation may be used as a non-pharmacological intervention to prevent incident hypertension and cardiovascular events during exercise via enhanced endothelial function.

Read the detailed description

We investigated whether elevated blood pressure and aortic stiffness (AoS) characterized in obese and overweight males (N=10) are reduced following chronic GSE supplementation during exercise. Systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), stroke volume (SV), cardiac output (Q), total vascular conductance (TVC), and AoS to two submaximal cycling exercises (40% and 60% VO2peak) were compared 7 days after ingestion of GSE or placebo (PL) within an one week washout period. Compared with PL, GSE supplementation significantly decreased MAP at rest, 40%, and 60% workloads. AoS was significantly reduced at rest. Q tended to be decreased, but there was no significant difference. GSE had no effect on HR, TVC, and SV. Our study indicates that chronic supplementation with GSE reduces arterial pressure at rest and during exercise primarily via the combined reduction of AoS and Q. Thus, GSE can be a dietary supplement to treat augmented blood pressure responses in obese and overweight males at rest and during exercise.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Grape Seed Extract in people with Obesity Adult Onset, 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 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 13 Jul 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 at rest and during exercise (time frame: 7 day 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04465110, 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 13 Jul 2020.
