About this study

Official title: Hypocaloric Diet With or Without Microencapsulated Fish Oil or Conjugated Linoleic Acid on Oxidative Stress and Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Women With Metabolic Syndrome Genotyped for Polymorphisms in the Genes PPAR Gamma 2 (Pro12Ala) and Adiponectin (G276T)

Our aim was to assess the effects of a hypocaloric diet, including diet fruit jelly with microencapsulated fish oil or conjugated linoleic acid or placebo, on anthropometry, body composition, insulin resistance and lipid profile in women with metabolic syndrome and genotype Pro12Pro in the PPAR gamma 2 gene.

Being tested

  • microencapsulated fish oilDietary supplement

    The microencapsulated fish oil group received light fruit jam with microencapsulated fish oil (3 g/day) during 12 weeks.

  • light fruit jamDietary supplement

    The placebo group received light fruit jam (15 g/day) during 12 weeks.

  2. Lipid profile

    Total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, VLDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol and triglycerides serum levels and EPA, DHA and total conjugated linoleic acid plasma levels

    Measured: Change from baseline at 12 weeks

  3. Anthropometric measures

    Body weight, body mass index and waist circumference

    Measured: Change from baseline at 12 weeks

  4. Body composition measures

    Fat-free mass and fat mass

    Measured: Change from baseline at 12 weeks

  5. Blood pressure

    Systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure

    Measured: Change from baseline at 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing microencapsulated conjugated linoleic acid, microencapsulated fish oil and light fruit jam in people with Insulin Resistance and Oxidative Stress, run by Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro 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 3 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 8 Jul 2014. 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. 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?

Oxidative stress biomarker (time frame: Change from baseline at 12 weeks). 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 8 Jul 2014.
