About this study

Official title: Influence Of Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Butter on Endothelial Function in Type 1 Diabetes

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of the add-on of extra vergin olive oil or butter to a high glycemic index meal on endothelial function in subjects with type 1 Diabetes and healthy subjects.

Read the detailed description

Impaired endothelial function is an early manifestation of atherosclerosis and predictor of incident cardiovascular events. Diabetes affects arterial vasodilation by reducing the bioavailability of NO and more in general affecting the balance between the atheroprotective and atherothrombotic properties of the endothelium. A consistent number of studies has so far documented that Mediterranean-style diet associates with reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. Intake of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), that is a common but not necessary ingredient of the Mediterranean diet, seems to further enhance the beneficial cardiovascular effect and reduce the incidence of diabetes. We have designed the present study to test whether EVOO supplementation acutely influences endothelial function in T1DM. EVOO supplementation wil be compared to butter supplementation in the context of a high glycemic index (GI) meal that is known to increase PP glycemic burden.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • EVOO supplementationDietary supplement

    We will administer to both groups (healthy and T1D subjects) a high glycemic index meal enriched with EVOO

  • Butter supplementationDietary supplement

    We will administer to both groups (healthy and T1D subjects) a high glycemic index meal enriched with butter

What is being measured

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

  1. Change of Endothelial function from pre meal to post meal period

    Flow mediated dilation technique by ultrasound

    Measured: before meal, 1 hour, 3 hour, 5 hour after meal

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Serum glucose

    glucose-hexokinase method

    Measured: before meal, 1 hour, 2 hour, 3 hour, 4 hour, 5 hour after meal

  2. Gastric emptying rate

    Ultrasound antrum measurement

    Measured: before meal, 15, 90, 120, 180, 240, 300 minutes after meal

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing EVOO supplementation and Butter supplementation in people with Type 1 Diabetes, run by University Magna Graecia at 1 site in Italy.

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 4 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 24 Mar 2021. 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 Italy. 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?

Change of Endothelial function from pre meal to post meal period (time frame: before meal, 1 hour, 3 hour, 5 hour after meal). 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 24 Mar 2021.
