Clinical Trial Summary

To assess the clinical efficacy and to simultaneously explore the underlying molecular mechanisms of the beneficial effects of flavanol-rich cocoa on vascular function diabetic patients with peripheral artery occlusive diseases (PAOD) of the lower extremities will be investigated.


Clinical Trial Description

50 Type 2 diabetics according to the criteria of the American Diabetes Association suffering from PAOD with a pain free walking distance less than 200 m will be enrolled. In a randomized controlled parallel group study the before established novel 5-level approach of vascular diagnostics will be realised. In order to test the hypothesis, whether cocoa rich in flavanols improves vascular function of diabetic PAOD subjects will regularly intake flavanol rich cocoa (group 1: 975 mg/d, n=50 versus group 2: 90 mg/d, n=50) over a period of two months. Clinical endpoints are the Ankle-Brachial-Index, measured by Doppler ultrasound and the pain-free walking distance determined by a treadmill ergometer. All parameters of vascular diagnostic (see 5-level approach above) will be determined before and two month after cocoa ingestion. ;
