About this study

Official title: The Effect of Breakfast on Energy Metabolism, Appetite, and Food Intake in Men

Being tested
Animal protein, Plant protein

What participants receive

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

  • Animal proteinDietary supplement

    The animal protein intervention is a smoothie containing 40 grams of whey protein isolate.

  • Plant proteinDietary supplement

    The animal protein intervention is a smoothie containing 40 grams of pea protein isolate.

What is being measured

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

  1. Energy expenditure

    Energy expended per minute will be measured using indirect calorimetry.

    Measured: Time frame is every 30 minutes for four hours following intervention.

  2. Appetite

    Appetite will be assessed using a traditional 100-mm visual analog scale (VAS) (3) with opposing anchors (e.g., "extremely hungry" or "not hungry at all") at time points 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, 180 and 240 min. Questions consisted of: "how hungry do you feel at this moment", "how full do you feel at this moment", "how strong is your desire to eat this moment" and "how much food do you think you can eat at this moment." Participants were asked to place an "X" on the 100-mm VAS in the place that pertained to their perceived appetite feelings at each time point." Participants were asked to place an "X" on the 100-mm VAS in the place that pertained to their perceived appetite feelings at each time point. The averages for each time point are taken to represent the feeling of appetitive at a particular time point.

    Measured: Time frame is every 30 minutes for four hours following intervention.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. 24-hour food intake

    Food intake following the intervention will be recorded using food records.

    Measured: Food intake will be recorded for one day.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Animal protein and Plant protein in people with Aging, run by University of Arkansas, Fayetteville 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 3 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 17 Jul 2018. 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?

Energy expenditure (time frame: Time frame is every 30 minutes for four hours following intervention.). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03399812, 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 17 Jul 2018.
