About this study
Official title: Effect of Milk Proteins and Protein Feeding Pattern on Body Composition and Protein Metabolism in Energy Restricted Obese Subjects
The purpose of this study is to minimize the loss of lean body mass that occurs during a weight-loss program in obese people by changing the nature of ingested protein and the pattern of protein feeding
Read the detailed description
In most physiological situations, the adequate amount of protein necessary to promote health is more and more well known. However, for an adequate protein intake, it was shown that the kinetic of amino acid delivery to the organism has an influence on the efficiency of protein utilization. In particular, caseins, slowly digested milk proteins, promote a better protein balance than rapidly digested milk soluble proteins in young subjects (Boirie et al., 1997). In addition, changing protein feeding pattern (80% of daily protein consumed at noon vs 25%) significantly affect protein balance (Arnal et al., 2000). In young healthy individuals, the best protein efficiency is obtained by spreading protein absorption over time (casein, and/or 4 isoproteic meal per day). On the contrary, in older individuals, due to alteration in the sensitivity of protein metabolism to feeding, it is better to use rapidly digested proteins (Dangin et al., 2003), and / or to have a protein-rich meal once a day (Arnal et al., 1999).
Another physiological situation that was not studied in this regard is obesity. Obesity incidence is rapidly increasing around the world. When body mass index (weight / height2) becomes too high (>30), it is often suggested to restrict energy intake. However, severe energy restriction leads to fat mass loss, but also to lean body mass loss, which should be prevented. Our aim is to test whether for an adequate amount of total protein, it is possible to preserve lean body mass by using either casein, or milk soluble proteins, or by changing protein feeding pattern.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Pulse casein feeding during energy restrictionDietary supplement
Obese subjects are subjected to a 35% energy restriction during 6 weeks and during this period, 25% of energy is given as protein, these proteins being casein. In addition, a pulse protein feeding pattern is used (8% protein in the morning, 80% for lunch, 4% at 1600 h and 8% in the evening).
Spread casein feeding during energy restrictionDietary supplement
Obese subjects are subjected to a 35% energy restriction during 6 weeks and during this period, 25% of energy is given as protein, these proteins being casein. In addition, a spread protein feeding pattern is used (25% of protein at each of the four meals of the day).
Pulse milk soluble protein feeding during energy restrictionDietary supplement
Obese subjects are subjected to a 35% energy restriction during 6 weeks and during this period, 25% of energy is given as protein, these proteins being milk soluble proteins. In addition, a pulse protein feeding pattern is used (8% protein in the morning, 80% for lunch, 4% at 1600 h and 8% in the evening).
Spread milk soluble protein feeding during energy restrictionDietary supplement

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Pulse casein feeding during energy restriction, Spread casein feeding during energy restriction and Pulse milk soluble protein feeding during energy restriction in people with Obesity, run by Institut National de Recherche pour l'Agriculture, l'Alimentation et l'Environnement at 1 site in France.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Jan 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Lean body mass (time frame: 6 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00690781, which also lists 6 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Jan 2011.
