CarotenoidS26NCT01856816
Effect of Meal Patterning on Carotenoid Absorption From Vegetables
A study testing Meal Pattern Treatment A, Meal Pattern Treatment B and Meal Pattern Treatment C in people with Carotenoid and Bioavailability, run by Purdue University.
Trial summary
The purpose of this research study is to determine how different meal patterns influence the absorption of beneficial plant pigments (carotenoids) from vegetables. The hypothesis is that carotenoid absorption will be lower when daily vegetables are consumed in one meal compared two smaller meals throughout the day. Read more about this study

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Meal Pattern Treatment AOther
In treatment A, subjects consumed 100% of salad vegetables and canola oil in the first meal and 0% in the second. Additional protein-rich "chef's salad" ingredients were distributed equally between meals.
Meal Pattern Treatment BOther
In treatment B, subjects consumed 50% of salad vegetables and canola oil in the first meal and 50% in the second. Additional protein-rich "chef's salad" ingredients were distributed equally between meals.
Meal Pattern Treatment COther
In treatment C, subjects consumed 75% of vegetables and oil in the first meal and 25% in the second. Additional protein-rich "chef's salad" ingredients were distributed equally between meals.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Meal Pattern Treatment A | Experimental | A large vegetable salad (262g) and with a moderate amount of canola oil (8g) was consumed over a two meal period as designated by treatment group A. Receives: Other: Meal Pattern Treatment A |
| Meal Pattern Treatment B | Experimental | A large vegetable salad (262g) and with a moderate amount of canola oil (8g) was consumed over a two meal period as designated by treatment group B. Receives: Other: Meal Pattern Treatment B |
| Treatment Group C | Other | A large vegetable salad (262g) and with a moderate amount of canola oil (8g) was consumed over a two meal period as designated by treatment group C. Receives: Other: Meal Pattern Treatment C |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Area under the concentration (AUC) vs time curve for carotenoids in the triglyceride-rich lipoprotein (TRL) fraction of plasma.
Measured: 0, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12 hours post dose

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Meal Pattern Treatment A, Meal Pattern Treatment B and Meal Pattern Treatment C in people with Carotenoid and Bioavailability, run by Purdue University.
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 11 inclusion and 2 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 17 May 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
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?
Area under the concentration (AUC) vs time curve for carotenoids in the triglyceride-rich lipoprotein (TRL) fraction of plasma. (time frame: 0, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12 hours post dose). 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 17 May 2013.
