About this study

Official title: Acute Effects of Different Protein Sources and Different Glycemic Index on Energy Balance, Glucose Allostasis and Amino Acid Metabolism.

The hypothesis is that seafood proteins given in combination with carbohydrates with low GI are superior to seafood proteins in combination with carbohydrates with high GI and meat in combination with both carbohydrates with low and high GI in promoting energy expenditure and satiety. The overall objective of this study is to investigate the acute effects of meals containing fish versus meat proteins on energy balance (thermogenesis, appetite regulating hormones and appetite sensations), markers of glucose allostatis and amino acid metabolism.

What participants receive

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

  • Fish and carbohydrats with low or high GIOther

  • Veal and carbohydrats with low or high GIOther

Study groups in NCT02770833
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Salmon vs. veal and CHO with low or high GIExperimentalIn the first clinical study (Study 1), subjects will eat salmon or veal combined with high or low GI carbohydrates. Each subject will be engaged in each of the following four 1-day test meals: * Meat balls with salmon served with tomato sauce and other accompaniments with low GI * Meat balls with salmon served with tomato sauce and other accompaniments with high GI * Meat balls with veal served with tomato sauce and other accompaniments with low GI * Meat balls with veal served with tomato sauce and other accompaniments with high GI
Receives: Other: Fish and carbohydrats with low or high GI; Other: Veal and carbohydrats with low or high GI
Cod vs. veal and CHO with low or high GIExperimentalIn the second clinical study (Study 2), subjects will eat codfish or veal combined with high or low GI carbohydrates. Each subject will be engaged in each of the following four 1-day test meals: * Meat balls with codfish served with tomato sauce and other accompaniments with low GI * Meat balls with codfish served with tomato sauce and other accompaniments with high GI * Meat balls with veal served with tomato sauce and other accompaniments with low GI * Meat balls with veal served with tomato sauce and other accompaniments with high GI
Receives: Other: Fish and carbohydrats with low or high GI; Other: Veal and carbohydrats with low or high GI

What is being measured

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

  1. Differences in diet induced thermogenesis between the four test meals

    In the following three hours after eating the test meal respiratory gas exchange will be measured 6x25 minutes with 5 minutes breaks in between each measurement. Diet induced thermogenesis (DIT) will be measured by indirect calorimetry using a ventilated hood system. Each measurement will last for 25 minutes of which the last 20 minutes will be used for calculation of energy expenditure.

    Measured: 3 hours

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Satiety

    Evaluated by VAS-measures of subjective appetite sensations (satiety, hunger, fullness and prospective food consumption)

    Measured: 3 hours

  2. Food preferences

    In an attempt to measure spontaneous energy intake and macronutrient preferences in an experimental context, the participants will be given an ad libitum buffet lunch at noon. A cold and hot buffet-style lunch comprising a variety of foods (representing a wide selection of food groups) will be offered after the last measurement of gas exchange and the participants will be instructed to eat ad libitum.

    Measured: 3 hours

  3. Glucose

    Blood sample

    Measured: 3 hours

  4. Insulin

    Blood sample

    Measured: 3 hours

  5. Glucagon

    Measured: 3 hours

  6. C-peptide

    Blood sample

    Measured: 3 hours

  7. Plasma amino acids

    Blood samples

    Measured: 3 hours

  8. Appetite regulating hormones

    e.g. glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)

    Measured: 3 hours

  9. Free fatty acids

    Measured: 3 hours

  10. Glycerol

    Blood sample

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Fish and carbohydrats with low or high GI and Veal and carbohydrats with low or high GI in people with Overweight, run by University of Copenhagen at 1 site in Denmark.

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 15 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 18 May 2016. 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 Denmark. 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?

Differences in diet induced thermogenesis between the four test meals (time frame: 3 hours). 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 18 May 2016.
