Официальное название
Randomized Clinical Trial to Analyze the Efficacy of a Liquid Carob Extract on the Glucose Metabolism of Subjects With Prediabetes.
Обзор
This study evaluates whether a liquid carob extract can improve blood glucose levels in individuals with prediabetes. Participants are selected according to predefined health criteria and randomly assigned to two groups: one group receives the carob extract and the other receives an inert liquid (placebo). Blood samples are collected and glucose-related parameters are measured throughout the study to assess changes over time. The objective is to determine whether this extract may contribute to better glycemic control and help prevent progression to diabetes.
Подробное описание
This study is designed to assess the efficacy of a carob extract on glucose metabolism in individuals presenting impaired fasting glucose or elevated glycated hemoglobin levels, without current antidiabetic pharmacological treatment. Participants will consume the extract for 90 days, and metabolic outcomes will be compared with baseline values.
Secondary objectives include assessing changes in glucose area under the curve and peak glucose levels following an oral glucose tolerance test; evaluating variations in fasting glucose and fasting insulin levels after 90 days of intake; and determining changes in peripheral insulin resistance using the HOMA-IR and QUICKI indices. Additionally, potential effects on body composition will be assessed in individuals with abnormal fasting glucose or HbA1c values. Product safety will be monitored and analyzed throughout the study period.
