Lutein was found to be protective against atherosclerosis in some case control studies. However, the intervention on atherosclerosis have not been reported. In the present study, 192 subjects were randomly assigned to four groups treated with different amounts of lutein. The investigators observe the changes of serum lutein concentration by hyper-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC), and compare the differences of common carotid IMT and arterial stiffness by carotid ultrasonography before and after the intervention. Serum biochemistry indexes including cholesterol (CHO), triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) and glucose (Glu) were measured at 0, 7 and 12 months of treatment by auto-analyzer.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '68 Years', 'minimumAge': '45 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': True, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* early atherosclerosis;\n* aged 45 to 68 years;\n* Han nationality\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* history of myocardial infarction,\n* stroke,\n* revascularization,\n* coronary by-pass operation,\n* local carotid IMT \\> 1300μm or supplemental vitamin and/or mineral use for ≥ 4 week before the start of the study'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT01534533', 'briefTitle': 'Effects of Lutein Supplementation on Subclinical Atherosclerosis', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Peking University'}, 'officialTitle': 'The Effects of Lutein Supplementation on Subclinical Atherosclerosis', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'NNSFC-30972472'}, 'secondaryIdInfos': [{'id': 'XLin', 'type': 'REGISTRY', 'domain': 'XLin'}]}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'PLACEBO_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'Placebo', 'description': 'early atherosclerosis cases, received starch in hard shell gelatine capsules, once a day', 'interventionNames': ['Dietary Supplement: Placebo']}, {'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'Lutein group', 'description': 'early atherosclerosis cases, received 20mg lutein, once a day', 'interventionNames': ['Dietary Supplement: Lutein group']}, {'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'Combination group', 'description': 'early atherosclerosis cases, received 20mg lutein plus 20mg lycopene, once a day', 'interventionNames': ['Dietary Supplement: Combination group']}, {'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'Normal lutein control group', 'description': '20mg lutein for subjects free from atherosclerosis, once a day', 'interventionNames': ['Dietary Supplement: Normal lutein control group']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Placebo', 'type': 'DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT', 'description': 'one gelatine capsule containing starch per day, for 12 months', 'armGroupLabels': ['Placebo']}, {'name': 'Lutein group', 'type': 'DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT', 'description': 'one gelatine capsule containing 20mg lutein per day, for 12 months', 'armGroupLabels': ['Lutein group']}, {'name': 'Combination group', 'type': 'DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT', 'description': 'one gelatine capsule containing 20mg lutein and 20 mg lycopene per day, for 12 months', 'armGroupLabels': ['Combination group']}, {'name': 'Normal lutein control group', 'type': 'DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT', 'description': 'subjects without early atherosclerosis, treated with one gelatine capsule containing 20mg lutein per day, for 12 months', 'armGroupLabels': ['Normal lutein control group']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '100191', 'city': 'Beijing', 'country': 'China', 'facility': 'Haidian District', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 39.9075, 'lon': 116.39723}}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'Xiaoming Lin, M.M.', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': 'Peking University'}]}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'Peking University', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'investigatorTitle': 'Professor', 'investigatorFullName': 'Xiaoming Lin', 'investigatorAffiliation': 'Peking University'}}}}
