About this study

Official title: Assessment of the Health Effects of Olive Pomace Oil in Healthy and at Risk Consumers

Healthy and at risk (hypercholesterolemic) subjects consumed during 4 weeks 45 g/d of either olive pomace oil (OPO) or high oleic acid sunflower oil (HOSO) as the only dietary fat in a randomized, crossover trial. The effects on blood lipids, glucose homeostasis, endothelial function, inflammatory cytokines, oxidative stress biomarkers and anthropometry were measured.

Read the detailed description

This is the first study on the potential health effects of consumption of olive pomace oil.

After a 3-weeks run-in, 34 healthy and 30 hypercholesterolemic subjects were randomized to consume either OPO or HOSO (45 g/d) during 4 weeks, followed by a 3-week wash-out during which volunteers consumed the same amount of normal sunflower oil. During all the study, other dietary sources of fat (oil, nuts, butter, etc.) were restricted. Food intake was monitored by 3-d food records in each intervention stage and volunteers were instructed to maintain their normal physical and dietary habits (except for the changes in the consumption of other oils and fats).

At the beginning and end of each intervention stage, blood and urine samples were obtained, and blood pressure and anthropometric measurements were performed. A complete batch of analysis were performed, including serum lipids, endothelial function (flow mediated dilation (FMD), endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), vascular (VCAM-1) and intercellular (ICAM-1) cell adhesion molecules, E- and P-selectins), inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines, glucose homeostasis/insulin resistance, antioxidant status and biomarkers of lipid oxidation (malondialdehyde (MDA), LDLox, ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC), ABTS (2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) quenching capacity) and anthropometry, along with determination of incretins, adipokines, and other clinical and hematological parameters.

What is being measured

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

  1. Blood lipids

    Changes on total or LDL-cholesterol levels or triglycerides in at risk (hypercholesterolemic) subjects. No effect on blood lipids expected in healthy (normocholesterolemic ) volunteers

    Measured: 4 weeks

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Endothelial function

    Changes in the levels of selectins, adhesion molecules or eNOS levels in volunteers

    Measured: 4 weeks

  2. Blood pressure

    Changes in systolic/diastolic blood pressure in volunteers

    Measured: 4 weeks

  3. Glucose homeostasis

    Modification of fasting blood glucose or insulin levels, decrease in glycosylated hemoglobin (Hb1Ac), homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) or beta-cell function (HOMA-beta)

    Measured: 4 weeks

  4. Inflammation

    Changes in pro-inflammatory cytokines/C-reactive protein (CRP) levels

    Measured: 4 weeks

  5. Oxidative status

    Modification in serum antioxidant capacity (FRAP, ABTS, ORAC) and/or decreased levels of biomarkers of lipid oxidation (MDA, LDLox)

    Measured: 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Olive pomace oil and High oleic acid sunflower oil in people with Healthy and Hypercholesterolemia, run by Instituto de Ciencia y Tecnología de Alimentos y Nutrición at 1 site in Spain.

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 2 inclusion and 8 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 16 Aug 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 Spain. 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?

Blood lipids (time frame: 4 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 NCT04997122, 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 16 Aug 2021.
