Study typeNot Specified
Scientific title
Study hypothesisIn a previous study (ISRCTN85096812 - http://www.controlled-trials.com/ISRCTN85096812) endothelial function and glucose metabolism improved after the ingestion of decaffeinated coffee therefore suggesting that non-caffeine components of coffee have beneficial effects. The hypothesis of this study is that these non-caffeine components of coffee might have dose dependent favourable effects on endothelial function and possibly on glucose metabolism.
Ethics approval(s)Local Ethics Committee of the University Hospital of Palermo (I). Date of approval: 06/02/2008 (ref: 02/08)
ConditionCardiovascular and metabolic diseases/ clinical nutrition
InterventionThis is a cross-over, randomised trial.

Participants will receive, on two occasions in random order, one or two cups of decaffeinated coffee (a standardised cup of 25 ml Italian expresso) at one week interval.
Intervention typeDrug
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhaseNot Specified
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Coffee
Primary outcome measure1. Fasting acute effects of the two different doses of coffee on endothelial function, measured as the flow mediated dilation (FMD). FMD measurements (outcome assessors blinded) will be performed before, 30 and 60 minutes after coffee ingestion.
2. Fasting acute effects of the two different doses of coffee on glucose metabolism, evaluated on the basis of blood concentrations of glucose, insulin and c-peptide. These blood measurements will be obtained before and 60 minutes after coffee ingestion.
Secondary outcome measures1. Blood pressure, obtained before, 30 and 60 minutes after coffee ingestion
2. Heart rate, measured continuously for the entire duration of the test (60 min)
3. Electrocardiogram with QTc interval measurement, obtained before and 60 minutes after coffee ingestion
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 future measurements (Interleukin-6 [IL-6], tumour necrosis factor-alpha [TNF-alpha], etc.)
