About this study
Official title: Effects of a High Carboxymethyl-lysine (CML) Diet on Absorption and Excretion Levels in Healthy Adults
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of carboxymethyl-lysine (CML) on the levels of absorption and excretion of CML, and in the microbiota of healthy adults. To achieve the objective, a randomized clinical trial will be carried out. Before the intervention, subjects will have a washout period for seven days, then they will be randomly assigned to either a high-CML or to a low-CML diet for 5 days. Both groups will consume the foods provided by the researchers at the research center. Diets for this intervention will be based on an isocaloric diet that will include breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner.
Blood samples will be taken the first day, the second day of the intervention, and after the five days of the intervention. Urine and fecal samples will be taken the day before the intervention and after the intervention. CML levels will be measured by Liquid chromatography tandem-mass spectrometry in serum and urine samples to evaluate the levels of absorption and excretion. DNA extraction from the fecal sample will be carried out by a commercial kit. Bacterial log10 number of copies will be determined by using q-PCR.
Read the detailed description
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are a heterogenous group of compounds form mainly by the Maillard reaction. AGEs can be found endogenously and in some foods. Several AGEs have been characterized, but carboxymethyl-lysine (CML) is one of the most widely studied in foods. Several studies have demonstrated the association between advanced glycation end products and several pathologies. However, few studies have focused on studying the absorption and excretion processes of these glycation products. Therefore, the objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of carboxymethyl-lysine (CML) on the levels of absorption and excretion of CML, and in the microbiota of healthy adults. To achieve the objective, a randomized clinical trial will be carried out, which will consist of a 7-day washout period during which participants will receive general recommendations that allow them to stick to a diet with a low CML content, adherence to these recommendations will be evaluated through three dietary records. At the end of the washing period, participants will be randomly assigned to either a high-CML or to a low-CML diet for 5 days. Participants will receive the 5 corresponding meals (breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner) during the 5 days of the intervention, these preparations will be elaborated by a catering company with indications and supervision by the research group. Participants will assist to the research center to receive the breakfast, lunch and snacks. After lunch the subjects will receive a package containing a snack for mid-evening and the dinner. Adherence to the diet during the intervention period will be evaluated through a dietary record of foods.
The intervention will be based on an isocaloric diet with a distribution of 55 to 63% carbohydrates, 12 to 15% protein, 25 to 30% lipids and less than 10% saturated fat.
The diet with high content of CML will have twice the amount that the low diet, but with similar amounts of macro and micronutrients.
A blood sample will be taken on the first day of the intervention to measure CML basal levels. In order to evaluate the levels of CML absorption, the serum collection will be performed on the second day and at the end of the intervention. To evaluate the levels of CML excretion 24-hours urine will be collected the day before the intervention and the day after the dietary intervention finished. To evaluate the effects on the microbiota subjects will take a fecal sample the day before and a day after the intervention. Measurement of CML in serum, 24-hour urine and food will be performed by Liquid chromatography tandem-mass spectrometry. DNA extraction from the fecal sample will be carried out by a commercial kit. Bacterial log10 number of copies will be determined by using q-PCR.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
High-CML dietOther
Participants will be randomly assigned to either a high-CML or to a low-CML diet for 5 days, and they will receive the 5 corresponding meals (breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner) during the 5 days of the intervention. These preparations will be elaborated by a catering company with indications and supervision by the research group. The intervention will be based on an isocaloric diet with a distribution of 55 to 63% carbohydrates, 12 to 15% protein, 25 to 30% lipids and less than 10% saturated fat and it macro and micronutrients will be similar in both diets. The only difference will be the CML content.
Low-CML dietOther
Participants will be randomly assigned to either a high-CML or to a low-CML diet for 5 days, and they will receive the 5 corresponding meals (breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner) during the 5 days of the intervention.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing High-CML diet and Low-CML diet in people with Healthy, run by Universidad de Guanajuato at 1 site in Mexico.
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 10 inclusion and 3 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 28 Jun 2018. 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 Mexico. 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 levels of Carboxymethyl-lysine (time frame: six days). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 28 Jun 2018.
