Trial summary

The European Food Safety Authority has approved many applications for UVB light treated foods (e.g. UVB-exposed button mushrooms) in the last years. The UVB light treatment is used to increase the vitamin D content in foods and improve the vitamin D status of subjects. Read more about this study

About this study

The European Food Safety Authority has approved many applications for UVB light treated foods (e.g. UVB-exposed button mushrooms) in the last years. The UVB light treatment is used to increase the vitamin D content in foods and improve the vitamin D status of subjects. However, UVB irradiation is accompanied by the formation of vitamin D photoisomers such as lumisterol and tachysterol. The current study aims to investigated whether these vitamin D photoisomers can enter the circulation and are metabolised in humans that consume UVB-treated mushrooms.

What participants receive

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

  • UVB-exposed button mushroomsDietary supplement

    Healthy subjects will be randomized into two groups and received either UVB-exposed button mushrooms or non-UVB-exposed button mushrooms for 7 days. Blood samples from each subject will be taken at baseline (before the intake of the mushrooms, 3 h and 6 h thereafter, and at day 8. Three months later, another blood sample was taken.

What is being measured

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

  1. Circulating vitamin D photoisomers

    Plasma concentrations of vitamin D photoisomers (such as lumisterol, tachysterol and their hydroxy derivates) after the consumption of the UVB-exposed versus non UVB-exposed button mushrooms

    Measured: at baseline (before the intervention), 3 hours postprandial, 6 hours postprandial, at day 8, changes from baseline at 3 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Parameters of vitamin D metabolism

    Plasma concentrations of vitamin D metabolites (vitamin D2, vitamin D3, 25-hydroxyvitamin D2, 25-hydroxyvitamin D3, 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D2, calcitriol, ergosterol)

    Measured: at baseline (before the intervention), 3 hours postprandial, 6 hours postprandial, at day 8, changes from baseline at 3 months

  2. Parameters of mineral metabolism

    Plasma calcium, phosphate, parathyroid hormone, fibroblast growth factor-23

    Measured: at baseline (before the intervention), 3 hours postprandial, 6 hours postprandial, at day 8, changes from baseline at 3 months

  3. Plasma lipids

    Plasma triglycerides, cholesterol

    Measured: at baseline (before the intervention), 3 hours postprandial, 6 hours postprandial, at day 8, changes from baseline at 3 months

  4. Inflammation markers

    Plasma CRP, Interleukin-6

    Measured: at baseline (before the intervention), 3 hours postprandial, 6 hours postprandial, at day 8, changes from baseline at 3 months

  5. mRNA and protein expression in peripheral mononuclear blood cells

    Vitamin D receptor target genes, CYP enzymes

    Measured: at baseline (before the intervention), 3 hours postprandial, 6 hours postprandial, at day 8, changes from baseline at 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing UVB-exposed button mushrooms in people with Dietary Exposure and Safety Issues, run by Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg.

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 10 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Dec 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Gabriele I Stangl, Prof. Dr. (+493455522707, gabriele.stangl@landw.uni-halle.de), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Circulating vitamin D photoisomers (time frame: at baseline (before the intervention), 3 hours postprandial, 6 hours postprandial, at day 8, changes from baseline at 3 months). 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 Dec 2022.
