Read the detailed description

This cross-over study (double 5x5 latin square design) includes 10 young healthy subjects (5 males, 5 females).These subjects are studied in two different situations: a situation of good chewing efficiency, and a situation of disturbed chewing. This second situation is simulated by the wearing an occlusal appliance interfering with chewing and experimentally leading to poor masticatory efficiency. The overall study is conducted in two distinct protocols. The first protocol "Food bolus" is dedicated to the study of the rheological properties of the food bolus including analysis of the release of amino acids and bioactive peptides (secondary objective). The second protocol "Bioavailability" is the study of the bioavailability of bioactive compounds target (main objective). Each volunteer participates in both protocols. The sessions, with or without occlusal appliance, are randomized individually for each subject. Each subject is his own control and confounding factors related to individual variability of mastication and the general functioning of the digestive tract are therefore minimized.

Meat model was pork (Longissimus dorsi). Meat was sliced 2 cm thick, and two types of cooking were applied: 10 min cooking at 75 ° C and 45 min cooking at 90 °C. Meat was presented to volunteers in the form of pre-calibrated cubes (2x2x2 cm) of about 7 g.

Protocol 1: Sampling for "food bolus" study This part of the study allowed a complete description of the physical / rheological properties of bolus after good or poor mastication of the pork meat cooked according to the 2 previously described conditions. The analysis of these properties is followed all along the chewing sequence, until bolus swallowing. For that, boli are collected at different moments during the sequence of mastication. Subjects stopped chewing when indicated by the experimenter, and spat out the entire bolus with the saliva. This protocol also allows the release of carnosine and amino acids from the meat matrix during mastication to be studied.

Protocol 2: Sampling for 'bioavailability' study The volunteers participated in five sampling days. The determination of the kinetics of appearance in peripheral blood of targeted bioactive compounds (carnosine, lycopene) as well as the release of all amino acids, is done after ingestion of a mixed meal (meat, tomato, pasta), under conditions of normal or poor chewing. Meal is prepared from 100 g of cooked meat (low cooking or high cooking meat), 40 g of tomato puree, 10 ml of olive oil, and 80 g of raw pasta. An additional meal containing calcium is tested in normal chewing condition with low cooking meat. Meals are tested on different days. These days are spaced by at least 7 days.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Nutritional in people with Nutrition, run by Institut National de Recherche pour l'Agriculture, l'Alimentation et l'Environnement.

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 13 inclusion and 16 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 16 Mar 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?

Postprandial plasma carnosine concentrations (µmole/L) (time frame: 7h). The study lists 3 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 16 Mar 2016.
