Plain English summary of protocol
Background and study aims
The purpose of this clinical trial is to verify whether the consumption of extra virgin olive oil (which has high levels of polyphenols) improves the inflammatory profile in people with low-grade inflammation, also known as meta-inflammation, and that it is common in people obese with prediabetes, compared to an olive oil with tiny amounts of polyphenols.
Likewise, other important aspects for health such as body weight and metabolic profile (fasting glucose, insulinemia, insulin resistance, beta cell functionality, glycosylated hemoglobin, lipidemia, etc.) will also be evaluated.
The improvement of these parameters is associated with a delay in the development of cardiovascular disease and diabetes, and could lead to the use of extra virgin olive oil, high in polyphenols, as a substitute for the natural source of dietary fat, as well as elaborate functional foods based on extra virgin olive oil.
Who can participate?
Adults (45 – 60 years old) who are obese (BMI 30 – 40) not diagnosed with diabetes
What does the study involve?
Participants will be randomly allocated to receive a one-month consumption of one type of olive oil (extra-virgin olive oil or refined olive oil) followed by a wash period of 15 days and a second one-month consumption of the second olive oil (refined olive oil or extra-virgin olive oil)
What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
Expected benefits could include amelioration of metabolic alterations, such as fasting glucose, insulin resistance and weight loss. There are no expected risk for participants as they are just asked for substituting cooking oil at home for the one provided (blinded commercially available olive oil with low/high polyphenols content).
Where is the study run from?
Hospital Regional de Malaga, Spain
When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
March 2018 to June 2019
Who is funding the study?
1. Consejería de Salud y Familias, Junta de Andalucía (Ministry of Health and Families, Junta de Andalucía), Spain
2. Instituto de Salud Carlos III, Ministerio de Sanidad, Gobierno de España (Carlos III Health Institute, Ministry of Health, Government of Spain)

| Ethics approval(s) | Approved 29/11/2017, Ethics Committee for Clinical Research (CEI) of Malaga (Ethics Research Committee Provincial de Málaga, 7ª planta, Pabellón A, Hospital Regional Universitario, Avda Carlos Haya s/n, 29010-Malaga, Spain; + 34 951291977; eticainvestiga.hch.sspa@juntadeandalucia.es), ref:11/2017-PI1 |
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Obesity and pre-diabetes |
| Intervention | One-month consumption of one type of olive oil (extra-virgin olive oil or refined olive oil) followed by a wash period of 15 days and a second one-month consumption of the second olive oil (refined olive oil or extra-virgin olive oil) Randomisation process: 1:1 randomisation without stratification. Data collection: The nurse in charge of the study collects during each visit data on social status, habits, clinical, nutritional habits and semi-quantitative food frequencies, physical activity and anthropometrics. Fasting urine and blood samples are also collected, for measuring standard biochemical parameters, inflammatory parameters, oxidative stress markers, hormones, polyphenols levels. Patients are asked to bring with them a faeces sample for microbiota analysis. |
| Intervention type | Supplement |
| Primary outcome measure(s) |
Inflammatory markers measured from serum/plasma samples by multiplex assay (IL-6, IL-1B, TNF-a, Leptin, adiponectin, CXCL-1, IFN-g, IL12p40, IL-4, IL-10, IL-13, IL-RA, hs-CRP) before and after each treatment |
| Key secondary outcome measure(s) |
1. Body weight (kg) measured before and after each treatment |
