Trial summary

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the most important and frequent causes of death. Postprandial lipidemia (PPL) is an independent risk factor for CVD, besides the traditional risk factors e.g. hypertension, high LDL-cholesterol, family disposition of CVD and type 2 diabetes (T2D).

About this study

Official title: Whey Protein, Postprandial Lipemia and Cardiovascular Disease: Evaluation of the Effect of a Pre-meal of Whey Protein on Postprandial Lipiemia in Subjects With the Metabolic Syndrome and Type 2 Diabetes

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the most important and frequent causes of death. Postprandial lipidemia (PPL) is an independent risk factor for CVD, besides the traditional risk factors e.g. hypertension, high LDL-cholesterol, family disposition of CVD and type 2 diabetes (T2D). A high PPL is associated with an increased risk of myocardial infarction and stroke. Reduction of increased PPL, as a part of CVD prevention, is therefore pivotal. Especially in groups with increased risk of CVD, like the metabolic syndrome (MeS) and T2D. Identification of a simple diet-related method will possibly result in reduction of CVD in healthy as well as high-risk subjects.

The aim of this project is to investigate the effect whey protein consumed as pre-meal prior to a fat-rich meal on responses of triglycerides and apolipoprotein B48 (ApoB48) in subjects with type 2 diabetes compared to healthy subjects. Secondarily the aim is to study the responses of glucose, insulin, glucagon, amino acids, inflammatory markers, incretins, rate of gastric emptying and metabolomics. Also satiety feeling will be measured.

Investigators hypothesize that whey protein consumed 15 minutes prior to a fat-rich isocaloric meal reduces triglyceride- and ApoB48 responses more in type 2 diabetic subjects compared to healthy subjects.

The investigators research will hopefully contribute to a better understanding of how PPL can be modified in a simple manner. It will promote innovation to the food industry for development and production of healthy food products, which can be applied in the fight against CVD in the background population in general and high-risk people in particular. Thus, the results of this project can impart knowledge of great importance both to the national and international food industry as well as the healthcare systems.

Read the detailed description

Using a randomised, cross-over design 12 healthy subjects and 12 subjects with type 2 diabetes will consume a test meal prior to a fat-rich meal. The test meals contain 2 different meal types; on where whey protein is consumed as a pre-meal and another where water is the pre-meal. In the second meal type whey protein is instead consumed as a part of the fat-rich meal. Blood samples are collected before consumption of the pre-meal and after consumption of the fat-rich isocaloric meal during 360 minutes. The fat-rich isocaloric meal is a breakfast containing 1043 kcal (15 E% protein, 65 E% fat and 20 E% carbohydrates). The main-meal is composed of white bread, rye bread, butter, cheese (45 %), salami, egg, bacon, milk (1.5 % fat) and coffee (decaffeinated) and should be consumed over 15 min. Visual Analog Scale (VAS) will be used for determination of subjective satiety feeling.

What is being measured

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

  1. Effect on triglyceride response of whey protein as pre-meal after a high-fat meal in healthy subjects and subjects with type 2 diabetes measured as incremental Area Under the Curve (iAUC -15 - 360 min).

    Measured: Prior to the pre meal (-15 min), prior to the main meal (0 min) and 60, 90, 120, 180, 240 and 360 min post main meal

  2. Effect on apolipoprotein B48 of whey protein as pre-meal after a high-fat meal in healthy subjects and subjects with type 2 diabetes measured as incremental Area Under the Curve (iAUC -15 - 360 min).

    Measured: Prior to the pre meal (-15 min), prior to the main meal (0 min) and 120, 240 and 360 min post main meal

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Glucose responses measured as incremental Area Under the Curve (AUC -15 - 360 min)

    Measured: Prior to the pre meal -15 min, -10 min, prior to the main meal (0 min) and 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, 240 and 360 min post main meal

  2. Insulin responses measured as incremental Area Under the Curve (AUC -15 - 360 min)

    Measured: Prior to the pre meal -15 min, -10 min, prior to the main meal (0 min) and 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, 240 and 360 min post main meal

  3. Glucagon responses measured as incremental Area Under the Curve (AUC -15 - 360 min)

    Measured: Prior to the pre meal -15 min, -10 min, prior to the main meal (0 min) and 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, 240 and 360 min post main meal

  4. Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) responses measured as incremental Area Under the Curve (AUC -15 - 360 min)

    Measured: Prior to the pre meal -15 min, -10 min, prior to the main meal (0 min) and 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, 240 and 360 min post main meal

  5. Gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP) responses measured as incremental Area Under the Curve (AUC -15 - 360 min).

    Measured: Prior to the pre meal -15 min, -10 min, prior to the main meal (0 min) and 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, 240 and 360 min post main meal

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 20 g whey protein in people with Healthy and Type 2 Diabetes, run by Aarhus University Hospital.

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 12 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 5 May 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Effect on triglyceride response of whey protein as pre-meal after a high-fat meal in healthy subjects and subjects with type 2 diabetes measured as incremental Area Under the Curve (iAUC -15 - 360 min). (time frame: Prior to the pre meal (-15 min), prior to the main meal (0 min) and 60, 90, 120, 180, 240 and 360 min post main meal). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 5 May 2015.
