About this study

Official title: Effects of Nutritive and Non-Nutritive Food Form and Learning on Cephalic Phase Responses

This study has two main aims: 1) To determine if ingestion of solid or beverage food forms will change appetite hormone responses, and 2) To determine whether "learning" (defined as 2 week daily consumption) about the metabolic consequence of ingesting solid or beverage foods forms varying in energy alters appetite hormone responses.

Beverage consumption has been implicated in the problem of obesity. However, the exact relationship between beverages, lower appetitive response and lower compensatory dietary responses remains unclear. This study aims to address this gap in the research. For aim 1, the null hypothesis is that the energy in beverage and solid forms will not affect appetite hormonal responses differently. The alternative hypothesis is that exposure to the energy-yielding beverage will elicit a lower appetitive hormone response compared to oral exposure to the solid food form. For aim 2, the null hypothesis is that learning will not change appetite hormone responses. The alternative hypothesis is that learning will decrease appetite hormone responses in the non-energy-yielding beverage more than in the energy-yielding beverage.

Read the detailed description

The main aims will be studied in 3 phases. In phase 1,the unconditioned cephalic phase responses of participants to nutritive and non-nutritive beverage and solid food forms will be determined. In phase 2, participants will consume a randomly allocated solid food or beverage (either nutritive or non-nutritive) consecutively for 2 weeks. In phase 3, (which will occur immediately after the end of Phase 2), participants will be retested for their cephalic phase responses to determine if there is an effect of learning on appetite hormone response.

What is being measured

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

  1. Appetite Hormone Response

    Determine the appetite hormone responses to oral exposure of nutritive (energy-yielding) or non-nutritive (non-energy-yielding) sweetener in beverage or solid form. Then, determine whether the appetite hormone responses change after a 2-week learning period.

    Appetite hormones to be measured: Cholecystokinin, Glucagon-Like-Peptide-1, Ghrelin, Insulin, Pancreatic Polypeptide

    Measured: week 1, week 2, week 3, week 4, week 7, week 8, week 9, week 10 (once a week over 136 minutes: 0, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 76, 106, 136 minutes)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change in Appetite

    Determining changes in appetite ratings with oral exposure to nutritive or non-nutritive sweetener in beverage or solid food form and lastly with a meal.

    Measured: week 1, week 2, week 3, week 4, week 7, week 8, week 9, week 10 (once a week, over 180 minutes: 0, 14, 30, 76, 106, 136, 180 minutes)

  2. Plasma Glucose

    Determine the differences in plasma glucose concentration after oral exposure to nutritive or non-nutritive sweetener in beverage or solid food forms and whether there are changes after a 2-week learning period.

    Measured: week 1, week 2, week 3, week 4, week 7, week 8, week 9, week 10 (once a week, over 136 minutes: 0, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 76, 106, 136 minutes)

  3. Amount of meal ingested

    Amount of meal ingested will be determined by presenting a pre-weighted meal and water to the participant at 137 minutes. The meal will be provided in excess of an amount that can be consumed. Participants are asked to eat until comfortably full. The amount ingested will be determined by covertly re-weighing the amount remaining.

    Measured: week 1, week 2, week 3, week 4, week 7, week 8, week 9, week 10 (once a week, at 137 minutes to 180 minutes)

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 17 inclusion and 0 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 12 Dec 2023. 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?

Appetite Hormone Response (time frame: week 1, week 2, week 3, week 4, week 7, week 8, week 9, week 10 (once a week over 136 minutes: 0, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 76, 106, 136 minutes)). 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 12 Dec 2023.
