About this study

Official title: Effects of a Weight Maintenance, High Fructose Diet and of Exercise on Hepatic Lipid Metabolism

8 healthy male volunteers will be studied each on 3 occasions, ie

  • after 4 days on a weight maintenance diet containing 5% simple sugars + low physical activity
  • after 4 days on a weight maintenance diet containing 30% fructose + low physical activity
  • after 4 days on a weight maintenance diet containing 30% fructose + high physical activity At the end of each of these 3 periods, fructose induced hepatic de novo lipogenesis (13C palmitate synthesis in response to ingestion of a 13C fructose load) and plasma VLDL-triglyceride kinetics (measured with a bolus of 2H-labeled glycerol) will be measured

What is being measured

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

  1. Hepatic de novo lipogenesis

    Measurement of 13C VLDL palmitate after ingestion of 13C fructose

    Measured: after 4 days on controlled diet+exercise

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Plasma VLDL-triglyceride kinetics

    Modelling of 2H5-glycerol incorporation in VLDL afetr administration of a bolus of 2H5 glycerol

    Measured: after 4 days on controlled diet+exercise

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing weight maintenance, low sugar diet, weight maintenance, high fructose diet and weight maintenance, high fructose diet+ exercise in people with Metabolism, run by University of Lausanne at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 4 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 19 Oct 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 Switzerland. 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?

Hepatic de novo lipogenesis (time frame: after 4 days on controlled diet+exercise). 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 19 Oct 2011.
