Long-term Metabolic Effects of Cafestol

Obesity, Abdominal Clinical Trial

Official title: Does the Bioactive Substance in Coffee, Cafestol, Have Preventive Properties on Type-2-diabetes? (Long-term Substudy)

Status Active, not recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Twelve-week double-blinded, placebo-controlled, parallel intervention study on 40 participants with a large waist circumference who will ingest cafestol or placebo capsules twice daily. Insulin resistance is measured before and after the twelve-week intervention.

Clinical Trial Description

Participants are randomly allocated to the cafestol intervention group or placebo group. Before and after the twelve-week intervention the participants partake in: - A modified two-stage Insulin Suppression Test to determine insulin mediated glucose uptake. Fasting participants receive body-surface-area-adjusted octreotide, insulin and glucose infusions for 240 minutes. Octreotide is infused with the same rate throughout the test. Insulin and glucose infusions are slow for the initial 120-minute stage and increased the final 120-minute stage, simulating fasting and post-postprandial conditions, respectively. Steady state measurements of plasma glucose are acquired the final 30 minutes of each stage, at time points 100, 110, 120, 220, 230 and 240 minutes. - A mixed meal test. Fasting participants consume 75 g. white bread, 10 g. butter, 30 g. cheese and 200 ml. orange juice. Blood samples are drawn at time points -15, 0, 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, 180 and 240 min for glucose-, insulin-, glucagon- and triglyceride measurements. - A Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan. Participants undergo dixon-sequences scanning the abdomen, assessing visceral and sub-cutaneous fat volume and liver fat content. Magnetic Resonance (MR) spectroscopy is also used to determine fat percentage of the liver. - 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure measurement, every 20 minutes during daytime and every 30 minutes during nighttime. - 1-week continuous glucose measurement using blinded continuous glucose monitor/sensor on upper arm. - Fecal and urine sampling - 72-hour food-diary - Fasting blood samples: - Insulin, c-peptide, HbA1c and glucose - Total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL) and triglycerides - Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) - Alanine aminotransferase, creatinine, sodium and potassium - High sensitivity C reactive protein (CRP) and alpha-hydroxybutyrate - C-terminal telopeptide (CTX) and Procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide (P1NP) - Parathyroid hormone (PTH), Vitamin D and Ionized calcium - Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein-1 (MCP-1) - Interleukin 1 & 8 (IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-8) - Gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP), Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and Glucagon- like peptide-2 (GLP-2) - Growth/differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15) - Tumor necrosis factor (TNFα) - Fasting assessment of insulin resistance (Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance by C-peptide). Pre-intervention and end-intervention test results will be compared using repeated-measures ANOVA / mixed models. ;
