Fruit and Vegetable Juice Concentrate Effects on RBP4 and Antioxidant Capacity in Lean and Overweight 6-10 Year Old Boys
NCT00842543 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Our study aims to evaluate if the consumption of a Fruit and Vegetable Juice Concentrate (FVJC) vs. placebo can exert changes in the serum levels of Retinol Binding Protein 4 (RBP4), carotenoids, tocopherol, antioxidant capacity, pro-inflammatory markers, insulin sensitivity in conjunction with weight management in a cohort of lean as compared to overweight healthy six to ten year-old boys. The boys will undergo a detailed medical and family history and a complete physical examination during the screening visit. Careful anthropometric measures and body composition by DEXA will be performed. Nutritional and exercise counseling will be given at the start of the study. The outcome measures will include differences in serum RBP4, antioxidant levels, inflammatory markers and insulin sensitivity at baseline and six months after consumption of FVJC in a randomized double blind placebo control manner.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT00842543
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT00842543 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 39 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Nemours Children's Clinic, which has 96 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Obesity appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Placebo is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT00842543 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Florida. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
