Trial summary

The study will investigate if consumption of amino acid mixtures results a change in glycemic response of carbohydrate (white rice) and insulinemic response at different doses and timing (before consumption of carbohydrate). Read more about this study

About this study

The study will investigate if consumption of amino acid mixtures results a change in glycemic response of carbohydrate (white rice) and insulinemic response at different doses and timing (before consumption of carbohydrate).

Read the detailed description

Healthy male subjects will be served with amino acid mixtures in combinations of two doses and three time points along with white rice as control. The combinations were either low or high levels of amino acid mixtures. This was consumed together or 15 min, 30 min before consumption of white rice. Postprandial blood glucose and plasma insulin concentrations were measured at fasting and every 15 min after consumption of treatment meal until 60 min after the consumption of white rice. Subsequent blood sample were taken at 30 min interval until 210min. The glucose and insulin in the blood will be analysed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Glycemic response

    Blood glucose will be assessed via finger prick during fasting and every 15 minutes for the first 60 min after the consumption white rice and subsequently every 30 min interval until 210 min

    Measured: 210 minutes post consumption of carbohydrate

  2. Insulinemic response

    Plasma insulin will be assessed via finger prick during fasting and every 15 minutes for the first 60 min after the consumption white rice and subsequently every 30 min interval until 210 min

    Measured: 210 minutes post consumption of carbohydrate

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Rice and Amino Acid mixtures in people with Metabolic Diseases, run by Singapore Institute of Food and Biotechnology Innovation.

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 7 inclusion and 7 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 28 Jan 2016. 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. 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?

Glycemic response (time frame: 210 minutes post consumption of carbohydrate). 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 28 Jan 2016.
