Scientific title
Study acronymFVD Study
Study objectivesTo determine the effect of fruit and vegetable supplementation on measures of vascular function and oxidative stress in type two diabetes mellitus.
Ethics approval(s)Received from the Queens University Belfast Research Ethics Committee in December 2003 (ref: 391/03)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedType two diabetes and vascular disease
InterventionThere is a four-week washout period where all 80 subjects take only one portion of fruit and vegetables per day. The subjects are then randomised to either one or six portions of fruit or vegetables for the next eight weeks. The total duration of the trial is 12 weeks for each subject.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureChange in endothelial function as measured by venous occlusion plethsymography and pulse wave analysis/velocity.
Secondary outcome measuresChange in biochemical measures of vascular function:
1. Total cholesterol
2. High density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol
3. High sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP)
4. Triglycerides
5. Plasma plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1)
6. Von Willebrand Factor
7. Plasma glucose
8. Serum insulin
9. HbA1c
10. Adhesion molecules

The subjects undergo assessment of vascular function at the end of the four-week washout period and the eight-week intervention period.
