Trial summary

Background/Aims: Verify the effects of glycemic index (GI) on body composition, and on inflammatory and metabolic markers concentrations. Methods: Eighteen type 2 diabetics, (aged 42.4 + 5.1 years, BMI 29.2 + 4.8 kg.m-2) were randomly allocated to low GI (LGI) or high GI (HGI) groups. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effects of Low- or High-glycemic Index Diets in Metabolic and Inflammatory Responses in Type 2 Diabetics

Background/Aims: Verify the effects of glycemic index (GI) on body composition, and on inflammatory and metabolic markers concentrations. Methods: Eighteen type 2 diabetics, (aged 42.4 + 5.1 years, BMI 29.2 + 4.8 kg.m-2) were randomly allocated to low GI (LGI) or high GI (HGI) groups. High or low GI meals were provided in the laboratory twice a day during 30 consecutive days. The other meals were consumed under free living condition and subjects were instructed to select foods presenting GI values corresponding to the allocated group. Body composition (body mass index, body fat percentage, waist circumference and waist-hip ratio), and inflammatory markers concentrations (interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, high molecular weight adiponectin, ultra-sensitive C-reactive protein and fibrinogen) and metabolic markers (glucose, insulin, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, free fatty acids, triglycerides and fructosamine) were assessed at baseline and after intervention. Food intake was monitored during the study. The criterion for statistical significance was P<0.05.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Low GI index diet and High GI diet in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, run by Federal University of Vicosa 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 4 inclusion and 11 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 9 Mar 2015. 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?

Body fat content determined by tetrapolar bioelectrical impedance . (time frame: 30 days). 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 9 Mar 2015; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
