Trial summary

It is well known that medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) and diacylglycerols (DGs) have effects on lowering circulating triglycerides (TGs). In this study, the mixture of MCTs and DGs (MCDGs) examined whether it has beneficial effects on postprandial lipids metabolism compared to long-chain triglycerides (TGs). Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Effects of Functional Edible Oil (MCDG) on Reducing Body Fat of Overweight or Obesity Subjects (Part.2)

It is well known that medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) and diacylglycerols (DGs) have effects on lowering circulating triglycerides (TGs). In this study, the mixture of MCTs and DGs (MCDGs) examined whether it has beneficial effects on postprandial lipids metabolism compared to long-chain triglycerides (TGs).

Read the detailed description

A randomized, double-blinded, controlled, cross-over trial was conducted to verify the effects of MCDGs. Twenty-eight healthy male and female subjects aged 21-29 years with normal body weight [18.5 kg/m^2 ≤ body mass index (BMI) < 25 kg/m^2] were recruited. The subjects visited the research site twice over with a seven-day interval after an overnight fast at least 12 hr. On the first visit, the participants were randomly assigned to consume a test or placebo product [test product: muffins containing MCDG oil (MCDG muffin); placebo product: muffins containing LCT oil (LCT muffin)] and ingested the assigned product. On the second visit, the participants consumed the other product that they did not eat on the first visit. On both visit day, the 6-hr meal tolerance test was conducted and started at 8:00 in the morning; venous blood samples were collected before (0 hr) and after ingestion (2, 3, 4, and 6 hr) of the products.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • LCT oilDietary supplement

    LCT muffin was provided to the study participants. The LCT muffin was consumed within 15 min, and then 6-h meal tolerance test was conducted. The muffin had approximately 465 kcal, 8.36 g of protein, 17.24 g of fat, and 69.0 g of carbohydrate; among the 17.24g of fat, 15g of fat was LCT.

  • MCDG oilDietary supplement

    MCDG muffin was provided to the study participants. The MCDG muffin was consumed within 15 min, and then 6-h meal tolerance test was conducted. The muffin had approximately 465 kcal, 8.36 g of protein, 17.24 g of fat, and 69.0 g of carbohydrate; among the 17.24g of fat, 15g of fat was MCDG.

What is being measured

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

  1. Triglyceride levels

    Triglyceride level differences during the 6-hr meal tolerance test between LCT and MCDG muffins intake

    Measured: 6 hours

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. The areas under the curve (AUC) of triglycerides

    Triglyceride AUC differences between LCT and MCDG muffins intake

    Measured: 1 day of second visit (after finishing cross-over trial)

  2. Triglyceride maximum concentration time

    The time when triglyceride peaks maximum concentration during the 6-h meal tolerance test

    Measured: 1 day of second visit (after finishing cross-over trial)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing LCT oil and MCDG oil in people with Hyperlipidemias and Triglycerides High, run by Yonsei University at 1 site in South Korea.

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 1 inclusion and 2 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 30 Jan 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 South Korea. 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?

Triglyceride levels (time frame: 6 hours). 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 30 Jan 2018.
