NCT03741218

Brief Summary

The aim of this is study is to evaluate the effects of a single intake of grapes (a polyphenol-rich food) in postprandial metabolism in subjects with obesity, including a first intake (high-fat breakfast) after overnight fasting a second one (medium-fat lunch). Studies on the effects of polyphenols on postprandial (glucidic and lipidic) metabolism have commonly been performed in animal models and have used grape extracts, ignoring the whole pool of polyphenols present in grapes (extractable and non-extractable polyphenols). Besides, the contribution of polyphenols to the so-called second-meal effect has not been explored. It should be highlighted that this study aims to explore the potential beneficial role of fresh grapes, consumed as fruit; in order to ensure the stability of the product, they will be provided as freeze-dried milled material, but the amount received by the subjects could be incorporated into a common diet, being equivalent to 300 g of fresh grapes.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Postprandial glucose (300-420 min)

    Changes of postprandial blood glucose as result of supplementation with grapes, measured area under the curve for the period 300-420 min

    Up to two months

Other Outcomes (6)

  • Postprandial glucose and insulin

    Up to four months

  • Plasma triglycerides

    Up to four months

  • Plasma uric acid

    Up to four months

  • +3 more other outcomes

Study Arms (2)

1

EXPERIMENTAL

All subjects will receive a high-fat breakfast and a medium-fat lunch twice. They will consume together with the breakfast the placebo (PLA) the first time and grape (GRAP) the second time.

Other: Freeze-dried grape (GRAP)/Placebo (PLA)

2

EXPERIMENTAL

All subjects will receive a high-fat breakfast and a medium-fat lunch twice. They will consume together with the breakfast grape (GRAP) the first time and the placebo (PLA) the second time.

Other: Freeze-dried grape (GRAP)/Placebo (PLA)

Interventions

The subjects will receive, after overnight fasting, either a monodose of freeze-dried grapes (equivalent to 300 g of fresh grapes) or isocaloric placebo solved in water, together with a high-fat breakfast. Blood samples will be collected before the intake, up to 5 h after breakfast, then a medium-fat lunch will be provided and blood samples will be collected for three additional hours. A total of 10 samples will be collected: 0-30-60-120-180-240-300-330-360-420 min. Both interventions will be separated by two weeks. Subjects will be instructed not to modify their dietary habits during the development of the study, but during the 72 h before each visit they will have to restrict the intake of polyphenol-rich foods (a detailed list will be provided).

Masking Details
GRAP and PLA will have the same aspect, so neither the participant and the care provider will know the received treatment at each stage.
Purpose
BASIC SCIENCE
Intervention Model
CROSSOVER
Model Details: GRAP: dried and milled grape pomaces. PLA: control period. All the subjects will pass the two periods: one half will receive the acute PLA supplementation followed by the acute GRAP supplementation, and the other half will do it inversely. The assignment to each order will be done randomly. Both period will be separated by a two weeks washing period.
