About this study

This study will have the primary aim to investigate within-day changes in appetite after consumption of high-protein (HP, 30% of calories) and normal, or low, protein (LP, 15% of calories) whey protein meal, in solid and liquid form, on appetite and ad libitum food intake. Secondary objective will be to assess the statistical relationship between plasma concentrations of gut hormones and visual analogue scales (subjective hunger and fullness) and transit time.

In order to investigate the interaction of food structure and protein content on appetite, this requires, in practice, either a differing amount (g) or calorie (kJ) load as a function of energy density (defined as kJ/100g). Delivering the test meal as a solid and liquid form gives an easy solution to achieve this manipulation without compromising the nutritional profile. Following on from this decision, it is easier to produce different preloads using whey protein (rather than meat protein), since it is easily incorporated into test meals.

Read the detailed description

A randomized crossover design in 10 overweight/obese (BMI 26-40) men and 10 lean men (BMI 18.5-25). The control will be water. Each subject will attend the HNU on six separate occasions. The five test meal challenges will involve subjects attending the Human Nutrition Unit (HNU) in the morning, after an overnight fast. The total time of test meal visits will be approximately 4½hours. They will be provided with a standardised meal, after which blood samples will be collected for the first 2hrs. The following five treatments will be tested:

Treatment 1 Control - Water + Egg Yolk Mixture + 13C Octanoic Acid Treatment 2 HPL (High Protein Liquid): 30% protein; 30% fat and 40% carbohydrate (CHO) Treatment 3 LPL (Low Protein Liquid): 15% protein; 30% fat and 55% CHO Treatment 4 HPS (High Protein Solid): 30% protein; 30% fat and 40% CHO Treatment 5 LPS (Low Protein Solid): 15% protein; 30% fat and 55% CHO Test meals will be of fixed nutritional composition for all participants. The liquid meal will be a milk/fruit smoothie mixture and the 'solid' will be in a milk jelly (set) form.

Ad libitum pasta meal: 15% protein; 30% fat and 55% CHO as a homogenous mix and energy density of around 400kJ/100g - served in excess as a individual 600g portion to 'help-yourself'.

Subjective average appetite will be measured (every 30 min by visual analogue scales) over 4hr and ad libitum food intake will measured 4hr after treatment consumption. Ad libitum lunch will be a homogenous pasta meal with tomato sauce and a bottle of water. Blood samples will be collected every 10 min for the first half hour, every 15 min for the second half hour and every 30mins subsequently. The breath gastric emptying measurement will be assessed using the 13Carbon (13C) Octanoic Acid stable isotopic technique19. This involves mixing the tracer into food and taking breath samples and measured by isotope ratio mass spectrometry. 13C Octanoic acid is a medium chain fatty acid which is rapidly absorbed in the duodenum and metabolised in the liver. Following oxidation, the resulting Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is excreted into breath (12 samples will be collected during the 4hr test day).

What is being measured

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

  1. Changes in postprandial biomarkers of satiety as measured by gut-related hormones

    The biomarkers to be measured on the Luminex system are Ghrelin (active), Glucagon-like peptide (GLP1), Peptide YY (PYY), Amylin, Leptin \& Insulin

    Biomarkers of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) risk including total cholesterol, Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL), High Density Lipoprotein (HDL), triglycerides, nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA) will also be measured along with assessment of peripheral glycaemic control, fasting glucose, area under the curve combined with insulin data.

    Measured: On each test day blood samples are collected every 10 min for the first half hour, every 15 min for the second half hour and every 30mins subsequently. (Eight samples are therefore collected for 2hours at T0, T10, T20, T30, T45, T60, T90 and T120mins)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Changes in postprandial gastric emptying, measured using breath samples

    This is assessed using the 13C Octanoic Acid stable isotopic technique. A tracer is mixed into food and breath samples are collected which are analysed by isotope ratio mass spectrometry. 13C Octanoic acid is a medium chain fatty acid which is rapidly absorbed in the duodenum and metabolised in the liver. Following oxidation, the resulting CO2 is excreted into breath (12 samples will be collected during the 4hr test day).

    Measured: On each test day samples are collected every 15mins for the first 2½hrs then every 30mins for the last ½hr. Therefore samples are collected for a total of 3hours at T0, T15, T30, T45, T60, T75, T90, T105, T120, T135, T150 and T180mins.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing HPL, LPL and HPS in people with Satiety, run by University of Aberdeen at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 19 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 24 Mar 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 Kingdom. 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?

Changes in postprandial biomarkers of satiety as measured by gut-related hormones (time frame: On each test day blood samples are collected every 10 min for the first half hour, every 15 min for the second half hour and every 30mins subsequently. (Eight samples are therefore collected for 2hours at T0, T10, T20, T30, T45, T60, T90 and T120mins)). 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 NCT02246543, which also lists 19 linked publications.

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 24 Mar 2016.
