Grape seed extract for cholesterol in night shift workers
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a grape seed extract supplement can help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol in people who work rotating night shifts. It is looking for healthy adults with moderately high cholesterol who are not taking cholesterol medicine.

This study tests whether a grape product (“Chardonnay Marc”) can change how your blood vessels respond to stress, measured with a finger sensor. It may help researchers understand how diet influences circulation in people with a low baseline blood-flow response.
This study looks at whether shift work and disrupted sleep schedules affect the proteins in gum fluid related to your body's internal clock. Researchers want to understand if irregular sleep patterns might contribute to gum health problems.
This trial studies how sleep patterns affect blood vessel health and sugar control in long-term night shift workers. It may help find better ways to prevent heart problems and diabetes.
This study tests whether a specific dietary intervention can reduce health downsides from working night shifts. It is looking for generally healthy young adults who are able to follow the study plan and have not had certain mental health, substance use, or smoking history.
This study tests whether eating a protein preload in the evening (often called a protein “shake/meal” before sleep) can improve metabolic health in night shift workers. It aims to see if this timing and protein intake helps measures related to metabolism while working nights.
This study tests if aerobic exercise can help night-shift workers adjust their body clock. You would need to follow a structured exercise and sleep schedule to see if exercise reduces the negative health effects of working overnight.
