Effects of Food Advanced Glycation Endproducts on Vascular Function in Diabetes

Acute Effects of Food Advanced Glycation Endproducts on Macrovascular Function in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Recent evidence supports detrimental effects of advanced glycation endproducts (AGE) on vascular function (VF). Though, the effect of AGE-modified proteins alone on vascular function remained unknown. Therefore, the aim of our study is to investigate the effects of heat-treated, glycated beta-lactoglobulins (BLG) on vascular function in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and to compare it to non-glycated, heat-treated BLG.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

In a double-blind, controlled, randomized, cross-over manner, 19 subjects with T2DM will receive on 2 different days beverages containing either glycated, heat-treated BLG or non-glycated, heat-treated BLG.

Macrovascular (brachial ultrasound of flow mediated dilatation -FMD) and microvascular function (laser-doppler measurements of reactive hyperemia at the hand) at baseline (T0), as well as 90 (T90) and 180 (T180) minutes after each beverage will be measured.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Glycated beta-lactoglobulins
In this randomized, double blind,cross-over study, half of the subjects will receive on one day a beverage with a high AGE content and will be switched after a wash-out of min. 7 days to receive a low-AGE beverage (comparator). The other half will receive the beverages in inverse sequence.
oral, 20 g, single administration
Active Comparator: Non-glycated beta-lactoglobulins
In this randomized, double blind,cross-over study, half of the subjects will receive on one day a beverage with a high AGE content and will be switched after a wash-out of min. 7 days to receive a low-AGE beverage (comparator). The other half will receive the beverages in inverse sequence.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Postprandial Change from Baseline in Flow Mediated Dilatation
Time Frame: Baseline, 90 and 180 min after oral intake of food AGE
Macrovascular (brachial ultrasound of flow mediated dilatation -FMD) will be measured at baseline (T0), as well as 90 (T90) and 180 (T180) minutes after each beverage. The hypothesis of our study is that an AGE-rich beverage acutely impairs FMD more than a beverage with a low AGE content.
Baseline, 90 and 180 min after oral intake of food AGE

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Postprandial Change from Baseline in Microcirculation (Laser-Doppler measurements of reactive hyperemia at the hand)
Time Frame: Baseline, 90 and 180 min. following food AGE intake.
Microvascular function will be measured at baseline (T0), as well as 90 (T90) and 180 (T180) minutes after each beverage. The hypothesis of our study is that an AGE-rich beverage acutely impairs microvascular function more than a beverage with a low AGE content.
Baseline, 90 and 180 min. following food AGE intake.
