About this study

Official title: The Influence of Dietary Fibre-rich Meals on Gene Expression in Leukocytes and Postprandial Glucose and Lipid Response in Healthy Subjects

The aim of this study is to

  • Measure the effect on gene expression in leukocytes from a meal rich in oat bran
  • Investigate the postprandial glucose, insulin and triglyceride responses after intake of meals containing fiber from different sources (oat, rye and sugar beet fiber) or a meal containing a mixture of these three fibers
Read the detailed description

Dietary fiber has long been known to give beneficial health effects. Yet, the understanding of how fiber-rich meals regulate molecular events at a gene level is limited. Also, few studies have compared the effects of different fiber sources on postprandial responses and hardly any study the effects of fiber mixtures in the same meal, even though this is more similar to regular eating habits.

Healthy subjects will come to the study center after an overnight fast, to ingest breakfasts randomly enriched with different fiber. The meals contains either spray-dried oat drink, rye bran, sugar beet fiber a mixture of these three fibers, oat bran or no added fiber (control). All meals are adjusted to contain the same total amount of available carbohydrates and fat. Blood leukocytes for gene expression profiling were taken before and 2 h after consumption while blood samples for analysis of postprandial glucose, insulin and triglyceride levels were taken every 30 min during 3 h.

NuGO Affymetrix Human Genechip NuGO_Hs1a520180 are used for the microarray analysis and analysis is performed with linear mixed models and enrichment analysis to identify functional gene sets that responded to the specific oat bran effect.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Oat branOther

    Also called Oats, Beta-glucan

    82 g oat bran was added to 250 ml blackcurrant beverage with pulp to give 5 g soluble fiber (12.6 g total fiber).

  • Spray-dried oat drinkOther

    Also called Oats, Oat milk, Beta-glucan

    62 g spray-dried oat drink was added to 250 ml blackcurrant beverage with pulp to give 2.7 g soluble fiber (3.3 g total fiber).

  • Rye branOther

    Also called Rye, Arabinoxylan

    31 g rye bran was added to 250 ml blackcurrant beverage with pulp to give 1.7 g soluble fiber (12 g total fiber).

  • Sugar beet fiberOther

    Also called Sugar beet, Pectin

    19 g sugar beet fiber was added to 250 ml blackcurrant beverage with pulp to give 5 g soluble fiber (12 g total fiber).

  • Mixture of fiberOther

    38 g spray-dried oat drink, 30 g rye bran and 6 g sugar beet fiber were added to 250 ml blackcurrant beverage with pulp to give 5 g soluble fiber (18 g total fiber).

  • ControlOther

    No fiber was added to control meal (250 g black-currant beverage)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Oat bran, Spray-dried oat drink and Rye bran in people with Hypoglycemia and Hyperglycemia, run by Lund University at 1 site in Sweden.

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 1 inclusion and 6 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 30 Oct 2009. 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 Sweden. 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?

Changed gene expression profile by fiber-rich meals (time frame: 2 h after meal intake). 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 NCT01005342, 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 30 Oct 2009.
