Trial summary

Research suggests dietary fiber may play a role in weight management, and fiber consumption is inversely associated with body weight, body fat, and BMI in cross-sectional studies. These effects may be mediated by increased satiety, reduced food intake, or changes in blood levels of glucose, insulin, and gut hormones. Read more about this study

About this study

Research suggests dietary fiber may play a role in weight management, and fiber consumption is inversely associated with body weight, body fat, and BMI in cross-sectional studies. These effects may be mediated by increased satiety, reduced food intake, or changes in blood levels of glucose, insulin, and gut hormones.

The purpose of this study is to determine the satiety, glycemic, hormonal, and gastrointestinal responses of novel fiber supplements.

  • Resistant starch + soluble fiberDietary supplement

    25 g fiber as resistant starch and a soluble fiber, administered in a muffin, hot cereal and beverage (acute phase) or fiber bars and beverage (chronic phase)

  • Fiber made from corn starchDietary supplement

    25 g fiber made from corn starch, administered in a muffin, hot cereal and beverage (acute phase) or fiber bars and beverage (chronic phase)

  1. Satiety

    Measured: 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 180, 215 minutes postprandially

Secondary outcomes (4)

    Measured: 180 minutes postprandially and over 24 hours

  2. Ghrelin, polypeptide YY (PYY), and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) response

    Measured: 0, 30, 60 minutes postprandially

  3. Gastrointestinal tolerance and fecal chemistry

    Measured: following 7 days of treatment

  4. Glucose/Insulin Response

    Measured: 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 180 minutes postprandially

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Resistant Starch, Resistant starch + soluble fiber and Fiber made from corn starch in people with Healthy, run by University of Minnesota at 1 site in United States.

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 8 inclusion and 17 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 6 Feb 2012. 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 United States. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Satiety (time frame: 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 180, 215 minutes postprandially). 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 NCT00958399, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 6 Feb 2012.
