Beneficial Effects of a Polyphenol Enriched Beverage on Type 2 Diabetes Prevention and on Cardiovascular Risk Profile of Men and Women With Insulin Resistance.

September 1, 2015 updated by: Helene Jacques, Laval University
The purpose of this study is to measure the beneficial effects of an optimized berries extracts on diabetes and cardiovascular diseases prevention. Our hypothesis is that including a polyphenol rich berries extract in daily feeding will improve insulin sensitivity, glucose tolerance, pancreatic β-cells function, lipids and inflammatory profile, and oxidative stress markers.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Type 2 diabetes is an up rising disease that makes it a major public health problem. While 221 millions cases were estimated in 2010, the prevalence would be 366 millions in 2030. It is well recognized that regular consumption of fruits and vegetables can lower the incidence of chronic diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and inflammatory diseases. Recently, Drs Desjardins, Abrams and Marette's research team discovered a high amount of a sesquiterpene in berries. This molecule is recognized for its ability to improve glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity, and to lower pro-inflammatory profile of obese mice. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of a polyphenol rich berries extract mix on insulin sensitivity, glucose tolerance, pancreatic β-cells function, lipids and inflammatory profile, and oxidative stress markers, on human obese subjects that have insulin resistance.

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

40 years to 65 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: Phenol
Men and women who are assigned to a 6 weeks experimental period where they consume the rich polyphenol berries extract mix.
Other: Uncontrolled nutritional intervention with a supplemental beverage
Men and women are assigned to an uncontrolled nutritional intervention where they have to consume every day one of the beverage. Half of the subjects consume the experimental beverage containing polyphenols from berries extracts, the other half consume a placebo beverage without polyphenols. The polyphenol containing beverage daily supply 1,84 g of a strawberry and cranberry extract. This amount give the equivalent of 333 mg of polyphenols, thus corresponding to a daily consumption of one cup of berries. The placebo beverage is also a fruit taste beverage, but without polyphenols. Both beverage are isocaloric, with same appearance and taste. A 2 weeks stabilisation period precede the 6 weeks experimental period. During these two periods, subjects are advise to maintain their habitual caloric intake and their habitual activity level, and to avoid consumption of particular food with a high polyphenol content.
Placebo Comparator: Control
Men and women who are assigned to a 6 weeks experimental period where they consume a placebo.
Other: Placebo

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
