About this study
Official title: The Effects of Isovolumetric Preloads of Sodium Alginate-enriched Chocolate Milk on Glycemia, Subjective Appetite and Food Intake in Healthy Young Men
This study compares the effects of isovolumetric (325 ml) preloads of chocolate milk supplemented with sodium alginates at incremental doses on inter-meal glucose levels, appetite scores and food intake in healthy adult men. The findings of this study will illustrate whether the addition of sodium alginate to chocolate milk will improve the glycemic properties of chocolate milk and will potentiate its satiating characteristics. This study will also elucidate whether sodium alginates, incorporated into chocolate milk, will influence glycemia, appetite sensations and food intake in a dose-dependent manner. It is hypothesized that there will be a synergy between milk and sodium alginate beyond either alone. When combined with milk components, sodium alginate is expected to improve glycemia and induce satiety more than does either milk alone or alginate alone.

Dietary interventionOther
All arms were given to all participants, in a randomized order, to be consumed within 10 min after 12-h overnight fasting.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Sodium alginate-free chocolate milk | Experimental | Sodium alginate-free chocolate milk (1% fat) (Beatrice Ltd., Toronto, Ontario) Receives: Other: Dietary intervention |
| 1.25% sodium alginate chocolate milk | Experimental | Chocolate milk (Beatrice Ltd., Toronto, Ontario) with 1.25% sodium alginate Receives: Other: Dietary intervention |
| 2.5% sodium alginate chocolate milk | Experimental | Chocolate milk (Beatrice Ltd., Toronto, Ontario) with 2.5% sodium alginate Receives: Other: Dietary intervention |
| 2.5% sodium alginate milk-free water-based solution | Experimental | Water solution with 2.5% sodium alginate Receives: Other: Dietary intervention |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Satiety Change
Pre-meal changes from 0 min; Post-meal changes from 120 min
Satiety scores (mm) were assessed using 100-mm "Motivation to Eat" visual analog scale questionnaires. A composite score of the four appetite questions, including Desire to Eat, Hunger, Fullness and Prospective Food Consumption, in the "Motivation to Eat" visual analog scale was calculated to obtain the average appetite score for statistical analysis.
Measured: 0, 10, 20, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90 and 120 min (pre-meal) and 140, 170, 200, 230 and 260 min (post-meal) after consumption of the treatments
Secondary outcomes (1)
Food Intake
Food intake (kCal) was assessed 120 min after consumption of the treatments, using an ad libitum pizza lunch meal. Participants were asked to eat, during a 20-min period, until feeling comfortably full.
Measured: 120 min

Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Canada. 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?
Satiety Change (time frame: 0, 10, 20, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90 and 120 min (pre-meal) and 140, 170, 200, 230 and 260 min (post-meal) after consumption of the treatments). 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.
