About this study

Official title: FABP2 Ala54Thr Genotype Influences the Postprandial Serum Fatty Acids Profile in Type 2 Diabetic Patients

This study will be conducted in type 2 diabetic patient's to evaluate the if there is a different response of serum lipids after a standard meal (rich in saturated fatty acids) in patients who have the presence of a genetic alteration. This alteration that will be evaluated is a polymorphism, change of an amino acid in the gene of FABP2. This gene that can influence the absorption of lipids in the intestine and subjects who have the altered genotype (presence of T allele) can have an abnormal lipid profile as compared to subjects without this genotype.

Read the detailed description

Background: The presence of Ala54Thr polymorphism of intestinal fatty acid-binding protein 2 gene (FABP2) might influence the intestinal absorption of dietary fatty acids (FAs) and has been associated with diabetic nephropathy.

Objective: We studied the postprandial serum FAs in type 2 diabetic patients homozygous for Thr54 (TT; n = 11) or for Ala54 (AA; n = 15) after a standard meal.Design: Patients received a sandwich (7.23 kcal/kg-total energy; 43.35% fat, 21.95% protein, and 34.70% carbohydrate) in the morning after 12-h fasting and FAs in chylomicrons (gas chromatograph), plasma glucose, and serum triacylglycerols were measured at 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 h. Results: TT and AA patients did not differ regarding age (61.6±6.7 vs. 62.0±7.7years), diabetes duration (12.7±6.9 vs. 13.1±5.6years), male proportion (72.7 vs. 86.7%), blood pressure, type of diabetes treatment and previous macronutrients intake as well as serum A1C test (6.5±0.6 vs. 6.7±0.4%), LDL (3.0±1.0 vs. 3.2±0.6mmo/L), HDL (1.3±0.2 vs. 1.3±0.4mmol/L), triacylglycerols [1.6(1.0-3.4) vs. 1.6(0.6-3.7)mmol/L], saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated FAs, and trans-unsaturated FAs. The increase in serum glucose and triacylglycerols after the meal (ANOVA,P<0.001) was not different in both groups. The maximum increase of FAs occurred at 6-h postprandial, but only in TT patients: saturated FAs increased from 464.4(56.9-1602.5) to 1249.5(214.5-7149.8)mg/dL (P=0.041), monounsaturated FAs from 387.9(30.2-1523.8) to 925.1(344.6-5554.0)mgd/L (P=0.026), polyunsaturated FAs from 258.9(0-1048.5) to 713.1(143.7-7987.6)mg/dL (P=0.021), trans-unsaturated FAs from 18.5(1.9-70.6) to 66.5(5.0-451.7)mg/dL (P=0.023). Conclusion: The presence of the T allele of Ala54Thr polymorphism of FABP2 gene in type 2 diabetic patients increases absorption of dietary FAs, including the trans-unsaturated FAs, and this might turns these patients more susceptible to the effect of diet composition.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing sandwich in people with Dyslipidemia and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, run by Hospital de Clinicas de Porto Alegre at 1 site in Brazil.

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 3 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 13 Mar 2008. 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 Brazil. 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?

postprandial serum fatty acids (time frame: 0, 2, 4,6, and 8 hours after meal). 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 NCT00634673, 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 13 Mar 2008.
