Trial summary

Polar lipids have a specific chemical structure: they are an essential component of human cell membranes, play a major role in the nervous system and also influence the metabolic pathways including the cholesterol metabolism. Polar lipids are used in food-processing industry for their emulsification properties. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Influence of Milk Polar Lipids Intake on Lipid Metabolism, Body Composition, Inflammation and Intestinal Microbiota in Menopausal Women

Polar lipids have a specific chemical structure: they are an essential component of human cell membranes, play a major role in the nervous system and also influence the metabolic pathways including the cholesterol metabolism.

Polar lipids are used in food-processing industry for their emulsification properties. The most famous emulsifier is soya lecithin but milk also naturally contains natural emulsifiers such as polar lipids.

The purpose of this research is to study plasma cholesterol variation after daily intake of milk polar lipids-fortified cheese products. The volunteers will have to consume 100 g of cheese product during four weeks instead of their usual cheese products.

It is a bi-centric study with a centre in LYON (Centre de Recherche en Nutrition Humaine Rhône-Alpes) and CLERMONT-FERRAND (Centre de Recherche en Nutrition Humaine Auvergne).

Being tested
3g milk polar lipid fortified cheese consumption, 5g milk polar lipid fortified cheese consumption, Unfortified cheese product consumption
Keywords

What is being measured

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

  1. Total plasma cholesterol

    Total plasma cholesterol will be measured fasting before and after the four weeks of cheese product intake.

    Measured: Day 0 and Day 28

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Plasma lipids

    Plasma lipids will be measured before and after the four weeks of cheese product intake. Fasting and postprandial measurements over 8 hours depending on parameters (time 60-120-180-240-270-300-360-420-480 minutes)

    Measured: Day 0 and Day 28

  2. Plasma glucose and insulin

    Plasma glucose and insulin will be measured before and after the four weeks of cheese product intake. Fasting and postprandial measurements over 8 hours.

    Measured: Day 0 and Day 28

  3. Inflammatory markers

    Inflammatory markers will be measured before and after the four weeks of cheese product intake. Fasting and postprandial measurements over 8 hours depending on parameters

    Measured: Day 0 and Day 28

  4. Body composition measurement with bioimpedancemetry

    Body composition will be measured fasting before and after the four weeks of cheese product intake.

    Measured: Day 0 and Day 28

  5. Energy expenditure and substrate oxidation with indirect calorimetry

    Energy metabolism will be measured before and after the four weeks of cheese product intake. Fasting and during all the postprandial period (480 minutes)

    Measured: Day 0 and Day 28

  6. Intestinal microbiota with molecular approach

    Stools will be collected at home before and after the four weeks of cheese product intake.

    Measured: before and after the four weeks of cheese product intake

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 3g milk polar lipid fortified cheese consumption, 5g milk polar lipid fortified cheese consumption and Unfortified cheese product consumption in people with Cardiometabolic Risk, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 2 sites in France.

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 5 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 27 Jan 2021. 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 France. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Total plasma cholesterol (time frame: Day 0 and Day 28). 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 NCT02099032, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 27 Jan 2021.
