About this study

Official title: Cardiometabolic Health Effects and Mechanisms of Action of Fish Nutrients

The overall goal of this study is to investigate the effects and the mechanisms of action of a fish peptide and vitamin D on glucose metabolism, insulin secretion, and cardiometabolic risk profile in overweight men. Transcriptomic and metabolomic approaches will be used to study the acute physiological effects of fish nutrients and to discover gene/metabolite networks that underlie these effects.

Read the detailed description

Sedentary lifestyle and excess calorie intake have contributed to a dramatic increase in the occurrence of obesity, metabolic syndrome (MetS), type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) The first step in reducing the excessive CVD risk associated with the presence of the MetS is the adoption of a healthier lifestyle. A balanced diet, including high-nutritive and low-energy foods such as fish, is an important component of a healthy diet. Fish is a major source of n-3 PUFA, high-quality protein, and other essential nutrients such as vitamin D. Fish consumption may therefore improve the components of the MetS and reduce the incidence of T2D and CVD in obese subjects.The foundation of this project stems from the well-recognized fact that few Canadians meet the weekly dietary recommendation for fish consumption (i.e. 2 servings/week) and thus intakes of both n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) and fish protein are low in the general population, and even lower in obese subjects. Since some people simply dislike fish and because certain types of fish contain toxic contaminants, including heavy metals and environmental pollutants, fish consumption remains low. Therefore, dietary choices limit intake of its key nutrients, thus increasing risk for MetS, T2D and CVD. Also, fish is one of the richest food sources of dietary vitamin D which may also contribute to the health benefits of fish consumption. Indeed, it is currently estimated that ∼40% of Canadians have low serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentrations (≤50 nM) and that ∼70% are below 75 nM. In addition, obesity is an important risk factor for low serum 25(OH)D.The main objective of this study is to investigate the acute effects and mechanisms of action of fish peptide and vitamin D on glucose metabolism, parameters of insulin sensibility and secretion, and cardiometabolic risk profile in overweight men.

A four-arm randomized crossover design will be used to test the metabolic effects of consuming prior to a 3h-oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), supplements containing either fish peptide (3 grams), vitamin D3 (1000 IU), a combination of fish peptide + vitamin D3 or a placebo.

What is being measured

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

  1. Serum glucose area under the curve (Glucose AUC)

    The area under the curve for serum glucose concentration is calculated from 0-180min after 75g glucose is ingested

    Measured: 0-180 min

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Serum insulin area under the curve (Insulin AUC)

    Area under the curve for serum insulin

    Measured: 0-180 min

  2. Serum C-peptide area under the curve (C-peptide AUC)

    Area under the curve for serum C-peptide

    Measured: 0-180 min

  3. Serum triglycerides concentrations

    changes in the triglycerides concentration at each time point of the OGTT

    Measured: -15, 0, 15, 30, 60, 120, 180 min post 75g glucose

  4. Serum 25(OH)D concentrations

    Changes in the 25(OH)D concentration measured before each OGTT

    Measured: 4 weeks

  5. Cardiometabolic risk profile in serum

    Changes in cardiometabolic profile measured in serum before each OGTT

    Measured: 4 weeks

  6. Gene expression profile

    peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) gene expression

    Measured: 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Fish peptide supplement, Vitamin D supplement and Fish peptide + Vitamin D3 supplements in people with Prediabetes and Insulin Resistance, run by Laval University at 1 site in Canada.

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 5 inclusion and 7 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 7 Jul 2021. 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 Canada. 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?

Serum glucose area under the curve (Glucose AUC) (time frame: 0-180 min). 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 7 Jul 2021.
