Long-term Resveratrol and Metabolism

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Pre-diabetes
Interventions
Dietary Supplement: placebo
Dietary Supplement: resveratrol
Registration Number
NCT02565979
Lead Sponsor
Maastricht University Medical Center
Brief Summary

The main objective of the study is to investigate if 6 months resveratrol supplementation can improve glucose tolerance in overweight/obese individuals. As secondary objectives we want to investigate whether resting energy metabolism, intra-hepatic lipid content, physical performance, body composition and quality of life change by 6 months resveratrol supplementation in these individuals.

Placeboplaceboplacebo will be given for 6 months, twice daily. One pill will be provided with lunch and the other pill will be provided with dinner.
Resveratrolresveratrolresveratrol will be given for 6 months, twice daily. One pill, which contains 75 mg of resveratrol, will be provided with lunch, and the other pill of 75 mg will be provided with dinner. So in total 150 mg/day of resveratrol will be given.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in Glucose Tolerance2x baseline and 2x after 6 months of supplemenation

Matsuda Index calculated from double 2-hour Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT)

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in Resting energy expenditurebaseline and after 6 months of supplemenation

energy expenditure and substrate oxidation will be measured by an automated ventilated hood system (45 minutes) to determine whole body energy metabolism

Change in Body compositionbaseline and after 6 months of supplemenation

Body composition will be assessed by dual energy X-ray absorptimetry (DEXA) scan

Change in Quality of lifebaseline and after 6 months of supplemenation

Quality of life (QoL) will be tested using a 32-item questionnaire. This measure quantifies QoL on the dimensions Social, Spiritual, Emotional, Cognitive, Physical, Activities of Daily Living, and Integrated QoL

Change in Blood plasma markersOnce a month for a period of 6 months

Markers related to energy metabolism (for instance glucose, insulin, free fatty acids, cholesterol, glycerol and triglycerides) will be measured regularly

Change in Blood pressureOnce a month for a period of 6 months

blood pressure (diastolic and systolic blood pressure and heart rate) will be measured once a month

Change in Physical performancebaseline and after 6 months of supplemenation

Physical performance will be assessed by the following tests: the Timed Chair Stand Test; the 6-minute walk test while they wear a MOX Activity Monitor; and a dynamometer (Biodex) will be used to determine isometric and isokinetic muscle strength of the extensor and flexor muscles of the knee joint

Change in Quality of sleepbaseline and after 6 months of supplemenation

Sleep quality will be measured by the 10-item Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index

Change in Intra-hepatic lipid contentbaseline and after 6 months of supplemenation

Intra-hepatic lipid content measured with 1H-MRS
