Scientific titleAcute effects of coffee on endothelial function and glucose metabolism in healthy volunteers
Study objectivesPlease note that as of 15/05/2008 this trial record was extensively amended. Most of the changes to this record can be found in the relevant field, under the date on which the amendment was made. The following changes have also taken place:
1. The total number of participants has been amended from 20 to 50
2. Only 20 of the 50 participants were assessed for all primary and secondary outcome measures, whereas the remaining 30 participants were assessed only for the QTc intervals (secondary outcome field no. 3). Please see Primary/Secondary outcome measures field for detail.

Study hypothesis:
Caffeine or unknown components of coffee might acutely influence endothelial function as well as glucose metabolism.
Ethics approval(s)Ethics approval received from the Local Ethical Committee of the University Hospital of Palermo(I) on the 3rd October 2007 (ref: 09/07).
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedCardiovascular and metabolic diseases
InterventionParticipants will receive on two occasions with a random and blind order respectively a cup of caffeinated coffee and a cup of decaffeinated coffee (a standardised cup of 25 ml Italian expresso) with a one week interval. The two beverages are obtained by the same mixture of coffee and they differ only for their caffeine content.

PhaseNot Specified
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Caffeine
Primary outcome measureAmendment as of 15/05/2008: Please note that the primary outcome measure was assessed in only 20 participants.

Acute effects of both coffees (caffeinated and decaffeinated) on endothelial function, measured as "Flow Mediated Dilation", and on glucose metabolism, as blood concentrations of glucose, insulin and c-peptide, will be measured in each occasion before, 30 and 60 minutes after coffee ingestion.
Secondary outcome measuresAmendment as of 15/05/2008: Please note that all secondary outcome measures were assessed in only 20 participants, except the QTc interval measurement (no. 3 below), which was carried out for all participants.

1. Intra-renal haemodynamic measurements (resistance and pulsatility indexes), obtained before and 60 minutes after coffee ingestion in both occasions
2. Blood pressure, obtained before and 60 minutes after coffee ingestion in both occasions
3. Electrocardiogram with QTc interval measurement, obtained before and 60 minutes after coffee ingestion in both occasions
4. A blood sample will be collected before and 60 minutes after coffee ingestion in both occasions and the serum samples will be frozen at -80°C for measurement of some cytokines (Interleukin-6 [IL-6], Tumour Necrotising Factor [TNF]-alpha, etc.)
