About this study

Official title: Examining the Acute Effects of Two Different Fruit Juices (Orange Juice and Mixed Fruit Juice Consisted of Apple, Orange, Grape, and Pomegranate) on Postprandial Glycemic Responses and Satiety in Healthy Individuals

This study investigated the acute effects of two fruit juices on postprandial glycemic responses and satiety in healthy individuals

Read the detailed description

This study aimed to 1. Determine the glycemic index and glycemic load of two types of fruit juices (orange juice and mixed fruit juice consisted of apple, orange, grape, and pomegranate) and 2. Investigate the effects of these two fruit juices on postprandial glycemic responses and satiety in healthy individuals

What participants receive

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

  • Glucose as reference foodOther

    Ten healthy, normal-weight subjects after 10-14 hours of fasting, consumed 50g glucose diluted in 300ml water, tested three times, in different visits, within 5-10min. Fingertip capillary blood glucose samples were taken at baseline, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 min.

  • Orange juiceOther

    Ten healthy, normal-weight subjects after 10-14 hours of fasting, consumed 50g available carbohydrates from orange juice, tested once, within 5-10min. Fingertip capillary blood glucose samples were taken at baseline, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 min.

  • Mixed fruit juiceOther

    Ten healthy, normal-weight subjects after 10-14 hours of fasting, consumed 50g available carbohydrates from mixed fruit juice (consisted of apple, orange, grape, and pomegranate), tested once, within 5-10min. Fingertip capillary blood glucose samples were taken at baseline, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 min.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Glucose as reference foodExperimentalTen healthy, normal-weight adults after 10-14 hours of fasting, consumed 50g available carbohydrates from D-glucose, tested three times, in different visits as reference food; and 50g available carbohydrates from orange juice and mixed fruit juice (consisted of apple, orange, grape, and pomegranate), each tested once, in different visits, along with 300mL water. There was a washout period of at least two days between visits. Fingertip capillary blood glucose samples were taken at baseline, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120min after beverage consumption. The first glucose sample was taken exactly 15min after the first sip of drink.

What is being measured

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

  1. Glycemic index

    Glucose solution (50 g) was the reference food (GI = 100%) against which all test foods were compared. Subjects arrived at the laboratory at eight to nine o'clock in the morning after 10-12 h overnight fast. Each subject was fed equivalent 50 g available carbohydrate of test foods or reference food in random order. To minimize day to day variation of glucose tolerance, the reference food was tested in triplicate in each subject. All test and reference foods were served with 250 mL of water. An automatic lancet device and glucometer (calibrated MediSmart Ruby glucose meter with a lancing device, Lilly-PHARMASERV SA, Greece) was used for finger capillary blood samples. Blood samples were taken immediately before the start of the study (0 min) and 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 min after the start of eating.

    Measured: 2 hours

  2. Capillary blood glucose responses

    Clinically useful change in blood glucose, defined as the restoration of glucose within normal limits during the 2hr glucose tolerance test

    Measured: 2 hours

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Subjective appetite ratings

    Useful change in subjective appetite using visual analogue scales with a score 0 to 10 (given in the form of booklet, one scale per page) at baseline, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120min. The minimum or maximum score will be evaluated if it is better or worse depending on the appetite variable e.g. hunger, satiety, desire to eat, etc.

    Measured: 2 hours

  2. Blood pressure

    Useful change in systolic and diastolic blood pressure 2 hours post-consumption of tested beverages

    Measured: 2 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Glucose as reference food, Orange juice and Mixed fruit juice in people with Potential Abnormality of Glucose Tolerance and Appetitive Behavior, run by Agricultural University of Athens at 2 sites in Greece.

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 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 14 Jun 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Greece. 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?

Glycemic index (time frame: 2 hours). 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 14 Jun 2024.
