Dietary Intervention in Persons With Metabolic Syndrome

描述
SPECIFIC AIMS An estimated 47 million Americans have been diagnosed with metabolic syndrome. Glucose intolerance, abdominal obesity, hypertension and abnormal lipid profile are the identified traits of metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome is a grouping of conditions that collectively are associated with a two-fold risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Inflammation and oxidative stress are contributing factors for the development of atherosclerotic plaque in CVD and are the initial pathological responses for each of the abnormal conditions associated with metabolic syndrome. Consequently, reducing inflammation and oxidative stress are considered appropriate targets for interventions designed for primary prevention of CVD and metabolic syndrome. Primary prevention is the fundamental strategy to reduce cardiovascular mortality. Given the high mortality rate associated with CVD and its vast impact on healthcare expenditures, it is imperative that the investigators develop novel interventions for primary prevention of CVD in persons with metabolic syndrome.
Interventions designed to address primary prevention are considered to be the most effective and logical strategy to improve health before the devastating burden of CVD becomes evident. There is an arsenal of CVD treatment modalities available today with many pharmacologic interventions, however, these come at an enormous cost to individuals and to our healthcare system. To address a gap in the treatment of CVD, nonpharmacologic interventions provide an alternative strategy without expense or undesirable adverse side effects. Simple, inexpensive dietary interventions can have a significant impact on an individual's health and are often overlooked by mainstream healthcare providers because of their simplicity. The impact of increasing fruit and vegetables, which are loaded with antioxidants, into a dietary pattern has consistently been supported in research and is recommended in all primary prevention guidelines. Yet, nine out of ten Americans get less than the recommended amounts of fruits and vegetables in their diet.
The purpose of this study is to test the effect of a dietary antioxidant intervention on inflammation and oxidative stress in individuals with metabolic syndrome. The study has the potential to reduce the incidence of cardiovascular disease. This proposal will address a major goal of Healthy People 2020: Improving cardiovascular health through prevention, detection, and treatment, specifically addressing primary prevention of CVD in individuals with metabolic syndrome.
Specific Aim #1: To test the effect of a dietary antioxidant intervention on biomarkers of inflammation and oxidative stress in individuals who have metabolic syndrome.
Hypothesis #1: Compared to a usual care control group and to their own baseline, individuals randomized to a dietary antioxidant intervention (30-day intake of V8® 100% Low-Sodium Vegetable juice) group will have lower levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) and malondialdehyde (MDA) at one month from baseline. CRP is a biomarker of inflammation and is an independent predictor of cardiovascular disease. MDA is the most prevalent byproduct of lipid peroxidation during oxidative stress and is considered an excellent measurement for use in clinical trials to evaluate oxidative stress.

| Active Comparator: Control Group Following completion of baseline data collection, participants will be randomized to one of two groups. The research assistant will open a pre-assigned envelope in which group assignment was determined by a random number/block generator. The intervention is designed to complement guideline directed medical management. Therefore, both the intervention and control group will continue to be medically managed by their health care provider as usual. In order to avoid introducing the confound of extra attention paid to the intervention group, the control group will have the same visit and call schedule as the intervention group. | Other: Control Group The control group will continue to be medically managed by their health care provider as usual.

| Experimental: Intervention Group Following completion of baseline data collection, participants will be randomized to one of two groups. Participants assigned to the intervention group will receive dietary antioxidants as V8® Low Sodium 100% vegetable juice. | Other: Intervention Group Following completion of baseline data collection, participants will be randomized to one of two groups. Participants randomized to the intervention group will receive a month's supply of the V8® 100% Low-Sodium Vegetable juice as the dietary antioxidant intervention. Participants will be asked to drink one V8® juice each day for 30 days. Each V8® juice can is 11.5 ounces and can be consumed in divided amounts or all at once. The average daily intake of lycopene is estimated to be 5mg, one can of V8 juice provides 24 mg of lycopene. Thirty days duration for the intervention of V8® juice is based on previous data that indicates plasma antioxidant concentrations rise significantly within a two-week period and a plateau effect is reached within 4 weeks. |
