Clinical trial registry number | Type of study | Target disease | Administered A. muciniphila preparation | Protocol of administration | Main results | References |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
NCT02637115 | Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot study | Overweight/obese insulin-resistant volunteers | 1010 A. muciniphila either live or pasteurized, frozen in glycerol | Daily oral supplementation for 3 months | Improved insulin sensitivity and reduced plasma total cholesterol, fat mass, plasma GTT, AST, LPS, LDH, and creatine kinase | (48) |
A. muciniphila counteracted the plasma decrease in 1-PG and 2-PG, endogenous activators of PPARα that may underlie part of the beneficial metabolic effects induced by A. muciniphila | (49) | |||||
NCT03893422 | Randomized, parallel-group, placebo-controlled, double-blind study | Adults with T2D | WBF-011: mixed in capsules, which contained inulin, Akkermansia muciniphila, Clostridium beijerinckii, C. butyricum, Bifidobacterium infantis, and Anaerobutyricum hallii | Three capsules two times a day within 30 min of morning and evening meals, for 12 weeks | Decrease in total glucose and improvement in glycated hemoglobin | (50) |
Increase in circulating butyrate or ursodeoxycholate, evidencing the need for strategies directed to the microbiome to control T2D | (51) |
GTT, γ-glutamyltransferase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; LPS, lipopolysaccharide, LDH, lactate dehydrogenase; 1-PG, 1-palmitoyl-glycerol; 2-PG, 2-palmitoyl-glycerol; PPARα, peroxisome proliferator–activated receptor alpha.
