Scientific titleEffect of AlKylGlycerols on angiogenic and inflammatory factors in Obese individuals: a randomized double-blind cross-over clinical supplementation trial
Study acronymAKGO
Study objectivesA rich alkylglycerol (AKG) preparation will be more effective on inflammatory markers than a low AKG preparation.
Ethics approval(s)Clinical Research Ethical Committe of the "Institut de Recerca Hospital del Mar (IMIM)", 25 February 2008, ref: 2006/2601/I
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedCommunity-dwelling obese participants with a body mass index (BMI) ≥30 kg/m2 to ≤40 kg/m2
InterventionRandomized, double-blind, cross-over, single centre clinical supplementation trial, in which 24 subjects (12 men and 15 women) will be randomised to one of two orders of administration of:
1. High alcoxyglycerol content (HAC: 20 mg AKG/ 6 ml olive oil)
2. Low alcoxyglycerol content (LAC: 10 mg AKG/ 6 ml olive oil)

There will be in three intervention periods of 3 weeks separated by 2-week wash-out periods avoiding shark oil or AKG supplements.
Intervention typeDrug
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhaseNot Applicable
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Alkylglycerol from olive oil
Primary outcome measure1. Inflammatory parameters measured at baseline and before and after each intervention:
1.1. Serum inmunoglobulines A, G, and M
1.2. Complement 3(C3) and 4 (C4)
1.3. Plasma interleukine-8 (IL8), monocyte chemotactic protein-1(MCP-1), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) .
Secondary outcome measuresOxidative damage: Plasma lipids and lípid peroxides will be determined at baseline and 3 weeks after each intervention period.
Overall study start date02/05/2012
Completion date20/12/2012
