Trial summary

The primary purpose of this study is to examine the effects of 1-week of overeating on important clinical metabolic health outcomes (e.g., glucose tolerance, blood lipid profile, and blood pressure) and factors regulating the structure and metabolic function of fat tissue.

About this study

The primary purpose of this study is to examine the effects of 1-week of overeating on important clinical metabolic health outcomes (e.g., glucose tolerance, blood lipid profile, and blood pressure) and factors regulating the structure and metabolic function of fat tissue. This study will determine how regular exercise during this overeating period impacts these responses.

Read the detailed description

If subjects are eligible and decide to participate, they will take part in two identical study trials. One is scheduled before and the other is scheduled after 1 week of overeating controlled by the study team. Subjects who exercise regularly will be instructed to exercise the day before their first study trial - and they will be required to exercise during 6 of the 7 days of the overeating period (including the day before their second study trial). Subjects who do not regularly exercise (no planned physical activity) will remain inactive until the completion of both study trials.

Before each study trial If a subject is a regular exerciser, they will be asked to come to the Substrate Metabolism Laboratory in the afternoon before each of the 2 study trials to exercise in the lab for 45 min at a moderate intensity. The evening before the study trial, all subjects will need to eat a standardized dinner meal and snack. They must eat the meal and snack at specific times as indicated by the research staff. After eating the snack, subjects will need to fast (no food or beverages - besides water) overnight.

During each study trial Subjects will arrive at the Substrate Metabolism Laboratory at 7:00AM and will rest quietly for approximately 30 min. After which, the study team will measure their resting blood pressure and their resting metabolic rate. An intravenous catheter (IV) will then be placed in a vein of the subject's hand or forearm for blood sampling. The research team will then collect a small sample of fat tissue in the subject's abdomen with a needle. Next, subjects will drink a sweet sugar solution for an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) and the research team will collect blood samples every 15 min for 3 hours. After this 3 hour test, the IV catheter will be removed and subjects will be provided breakfast and discharged.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Overeating ProtocolDietary supplement

    Subjects will ingest 30% more calories per day than their calculated daily energy requirements (~750kcals extra energy intake each day). All subjects will be instructed (and will be guided) to consume a diet containing approximately 50% carbohydrate, 35% fat, and 15% protein.

What is being measured

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

  1. Oral Glucose Tolerance

    An index of insulin sensitivity will be measured using the plasma insulin and glucose concentrations during the 3h OGTT

    Measured: up to 1 week

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Resting Metabolic Rate

    Measured: baseline and 1 week

  2. Total Cholesterol

    Plasma concentrations of total- cholesterol will be measured

    Measured: baseline and 1 week

  3. PPARg mRNA expression

    cytokine proteins will be measured in adipose tissue

    Measured: baseline and 1 week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Overeating Protocol in people with Healthy, run by University of Michigan at 1 site in United States.

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 5 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 21 Mar 2022. 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 States. 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?

Oral Glucose Tolerance (time frame: up to 1 week). 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 NCT02701738, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 21 Mar 2022.
