Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Twelve (12) overweight volunteers will be instructed to gradually reduce the ingestion of coffee, tea, red wine, chocolate and other foods that contain guarana before 15 days before the visit for the blood collection and during the intervention. Consumption of juice fruits may not exceed 300ml per day and alcoholic beverage will be required to be avoided at least 2 days before each visit. Vollunteers will be asked to avoid taking any antioxidant suplement for 2 weeks beforetheir first visit and throughout the ensuing study periods. They will have their blood drawn on a twelve-hour overnight fast (T=1) and one hour after guarana consumption the second blood sample will be collected (T=2). Fifteen days after drinking the beverage made with guarana powder (3g) diluited in cold 300 ml water, two blood samples will be collected: one on a twelve-hour overnight fast (T=3) and other after the fisrt hour of drinking the beverage (T=4). Lipid profile of the volunteers will be evaluated on the begging and in the end of the intervention. Plasma and LDL at the four moments will be submitted to oxidation by copper (Cu+2) and after that the kinetics of diene conjugate generation and thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) will be evaluated as well antioxidant activity of the enzymes gluthatione peroxidase (GPx), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catalase (CAT) in erythrocites. Antioxidant Total Status of the plasma will be determinated. The Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage will be analyzed in blood lymphocytes using the Comet Assay. The Comet assay successfully assess interactions of
antioxidants with genotoxicants and it has also proved a valid
technique to evaluate whether antioxidant/micronutrients are
able to protect the integrity of the genetic material.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 240583 0
We will evaluated plasma total antioxidant status (TAS), the kinetics of diene conjugate generation, and thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) contents in plasma, as well as antioxidant activity of gluthatione peroxidase (GPx), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catalase (CAT).
Timepoint [1] 240583 0
A baseline blood sample will be collected on a twelve-hour overnight fast (T=1) and after one hour guarana consumption the second blood sample will be collected (T=2). 15 days after drinking the beverage, another blood sample will be collected one on a twelve-hour overnight fast (T=3) and other after one hour of drinking the beverage (T=4).
Secondary outcome [1] 257213 0
Commet Assay in lymphocytes.
Timepoint [1] 257213 0
A baseline blood sample will be collected on a twelve-hour overnight fast and 15 days after drinking the beverage, another blood sample will be collected one on a twelve-hour overnight fast.

Summary
Brief summary
The aim of this study is to investigate a short and a long term effects of the consumption of a beverage made with guarana powder (3g) and water (300ml) on the inhibition of lipid peroxidation on plasma and LDL of overweigth subjects as well as the antioxidant activity of the enzymes Superoxido Dismutase, Catalase and Gluthatione Peroxidase in erytrocitys.
Comet Assay will be also perfomed to assess Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) volunteers lymphocytes damage before and after the intervention wiht guarana.
