Results

The primary endpoint, IAUC of postprandial triglyceride levels, showed a trend toward a decrease with the blueberry leaf extract-containing (BLE) drink, but there was no statistical difference. However, the secondary endpoints of postprandial triglyceride, RLP-C, and ApoB48 were significantly lower in the BLE drink, suggesting that the blueberry leaf extract-containing drink suppressed postprandial triglyceride absorption (Reported in Clinical study report Version 1 on July 23, 2019).

Baseline Characteristics

Fifteen eligible study participants were randomly assigned to two groups (blueberry leaf extract-containing drink prior group or placebo drink prior group) by stratified randomization using age, gender, and fasting triglyceride levels as allocation factors. Of the 15 eligible study participants, 7 were male and 8 were female. There were no significant differences between the two groups in blood pressure, peripheral blood tests, liver function, renal function, or lipid tests at the time of the screening test. Only fasting plasma glucose differed between the two groups, being significantly higher in the placebo drink prior group, but not in HbA1c. There were also no significant differences in visceral fat area or abdominal circumference.

Participant flow

Eight patients were assigned to the blueberry leaf extract-containing drink prior group and seven to the placebo drink prior group, for a total of 11 patients (7 and 4, respectively) who completed the study.

Adverse events

Four of 15 participants (26.7%) had a total of 5 adverse events, none of which were serious adverse events. 3 of the 4 participants discontinued the study.

Outcome measures

Primary endpoint: Incremental area under the curve (IAUC) of postprandial triglyceride level; secondary endpoints: 1. The actual values and the changes of postprandial triglycerides at each evaluation point (1,2,3,4, and 5 hours) after meal load; 2. Maximum increase in postprandial triglycerides; 3. The actual values and the changes of glycolipid metabolism related index (RLP-C, ApoB48, HDL-C, LDL-C, leptin, insulin, ghrelin, and glucose) at each evaluation point after meal load; and 4. Adverse events.
