About this study

To describe the effect and mechanisms of action faba bean powder and fractions (protein, starch and fiber) on glucose and insulin homeostasis, food intake, satiety and metabolic regulation in young adults (18 to 30 years).

Read the detailed description

The overall objective is to describe the effect and mechanisms of action of faba bean powder and fractions (protein, starch and fiber) on glucose and insulin homeostasis, food intake, satiety and metabolic regulation in young adults (18 to 30 years). The specific objectives are to test the acute effects of different faba bean ingredient smoothie on: 1) post-prandial blood glucose, appetite, satiety hormone and insulin for 200 minutes, and 2) food intake 120 minutes following consumption of the faba bean smoothie. Two short-term acute studies will be conducted to meet these objectives. Both acute studies will follow a randomized, double blinded, balanced, repeated measures design and the same protocol; except one will have an ad libitum pizza meal (study 1), while the other will have a fixed pizza meal (study 2) at 120 minutes. Half the participants will have blood drawn by IV and the other half will be finger prick.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Faba bean powder smoothie, Faba bean protein concentrate smoothie and Faba bean starch smoothie in people with Faba Bean and Post-prandial Blood Glucose, run by University of Manitoba at 1 site in Canada.

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 5 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 23 Jan 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 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. 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?

blood glucose (time frame: 0-200 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 23 Jan 2023.
