About this study

Official title: Oscillations in Dietary Fat Intake and Leptin Changes Among People Who Record Dietary Intake Accurately: the Dietitian Study II

The purpose of this study is to understand the mechanisms for oscillations of dietary fat/carbohydrate intake and how fat intake affect insulin resistance and liver fat over interval of 3 to 4 days.

Read the detailed description

You will be expected to keep diet records for 17 consecutive days. You will start with a fasting screening visit (only water allowed). A physical exam and Medical history it taken at screening visit. Your body composition will be gathered by CT and Dexa Scan. Blood and urine will be collected for a chemical profile and other determinations. Questionnaires will be administered along with an accelerometer to be worn for the remainder of the study. The final day you will return the dietary records, accelerometer, and a few procedures will be performed as weight.

What participants receive

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

  • Dietary fat/intake of carbohydrateOther

    Also called Dietitian II

    Spontaneous intake of fat, carbohydrate, protein and alcohol each day for 17 days.

  • Spontaneous oscillations of dietary fat/intake of carbohydrate in relation to energy intake.Behavioural

    Dietitians and senior level or graduate level dietetics students who are not restrained eaters to participate in food intake over 17 days. During this same time interval, integrated energy expenditure will be recorded using doubly-labeled water and day to day energy expenditure by accelerometer. Periodic blood sampling for leptin will be done completed at site intervals.

Study groups in NCT01115075
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
DietitianExperimentalRecruitment of dietitians and senior level or graduate level dietetics students who are not restrained eaters. This group is skilled in identifying and accurately recording food than individuals not trained in dietetics.
Receives: Other: Dietary fat/intake of carbohydrate; Behavioral: Spontaneous oscillations of dietary fat/intake of carbohydrate in relation to energy intake.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Mechanisms for oscillations of dietary fat/carbohydrate intake

    Test the spontaneous intake of fat, carbohydrate,protein and alcohol each day for 17 consecutive days. Examine spontaneous oscillations of dietary fat/intake of carbohydrate in relation to energy intake.

    Measured: 17 consecutive days (11 visits on site)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Energy Intake

    During the same time interval, integrated energy expenditure will be recoreded using doubly-labeled water and day to day energy expenditure by accelerometer.

    Measured: 17 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Dietary fat/intake of carbohydrate and Spontaneous oscillations of dietary fat/intake of carbohydrate in relation to energy intake. in people with Healthy, run by Pennington Biomedical Research Center 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 4 inclusion and 8 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 25 Jan 2016. 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. 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?

Mechanisms for oscillations of dietary fat/carbohydrate intake (time frame: 17 consecutive days (11 visits on site)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 25 Jan 2016.
