About this study

Official title: Effects of Potato Resistant Starch Intake on Insulin Sensitivity, Related Metabolic Markers and Satiety in Men and Women at Risk for Type 2 Diabetes

The objective of this study is to assess whether intake of baked and then chilled potatoes over a 24-h period, compared to intake of isocaloric, carbohydrate (CHO)-matched foods low in fiber and resistant starch (RS), will increase insulin sensitivity, breath hydrogen and satiety, and decrease hunger and free fatty acid (FFA) levels in overweight or obese men and women at risk for metabolic syndrome and diabetes mellitus.

Read the detailed description

This randomized, two-period crossover study will include one screening/baseline visit (visit 1) and two 24-h treatment periods (treatment period 1: visits 2 and 3 and treatment period 2: visits 4 and 5). A minimum 7-d washout will occur between the treatment periods.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in the Matsuda insulin sensitivity index (MISI)

    Difference in the Matsuda insulin sensitivity index (MISI) between the Potato and Control conditions following a breakfast meal tolerance test (MTT) completed on day 2 of each treatment period.

    Measured: Up to 300 minutes - measured at the end of each treatment period

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Change in the total area under the curve (AUC) for insulin

    Differences between the Potato and Control conditions following a breakfast MTT completed on day 2 of each treatment period in the total area under the curve (AUC) from pre-breakfast intake to 5-h post-breakfast intake for insulin.

    Measured: Up to 300 minutes - measured at the end of each treatment period

  2. Change in the total area under the curve (AUC) for glucose

    Differences between the Potato and Control conditions following a breakfast MTT completed on day 2 of each treatment period in the total area under the curve (AUC) from pre-breakfast intake to 5-h post-breakfast intake for glucose.

    Measured: Up to 300 minutes - measured at the end of each treatment period

  3. Change in the incremental AUC (iAUC) for insulin

    Differences between the Potato and Control conditions following a breakfast MTT completed on day 2 of each treatment period in the incremental AUC (iAUC) from pre-breakfast intake to 5-h post-breakfast intake for insulin and glucose.

    Measured: Up to 300 minutes - measured at the end of each treatment period

  4. Change in the incremental AUC (iAUC) for glucose

    Differences between the Potato and Control conditions following a breakfast MTT completed on day 2 of each treatment period in the incremental AUC (iAUC) from pre-breakfast intake to 5-h post-breakfast intake for insulin and glucose.

    Measured: Up to 300 minutes - measured at the end of each treatment period

  5. Change in the AUC for FFA

    Differences between the Potato and Control conditions following a breakfast MTT completed on day 2 of each treatment period in the AUC for FFA from 0-3 h, 0-5 h, and 3-5 h postprandially.

    Measured: Up to 300 minutes - measured at the end of each treatment period

  6. Change in the net iAUC for fullness, hunger, desire to eat and prospective food consumption

    Differences between the Potato and Control conditions following a breakfast MTT completed on day 2 of each treatment period in the net iAUC from pre-breakfast intake to 5-h post-breakfast intake for fullness, hunger, desire to eat and prospective food consumption.

    Measured: Up to 300 minutes - measured at the end of each treatment period

  7. Change in the total AUC for breath hydrogen

    Differences between the Potato and Control conditions following a breakfast MTT completed on day 2 of each treatment period in the total AUC for breath hydrogen from 0-5 h post-breakfast intake.

    Measured: Up to 300 minutes - measured at the end of each treatment period

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Potato (Resistant Starch) and CHO-matched (Low-fiber, RS-free) in people with Insulin Sensitivity and Lipid Metabolism, run by Midwest Center for Metabolic and Cardiovascular Research 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 10 inclusion and 24 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 25 Jul 2019. 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?

Change in the Matsuda insulin sensitivity index (MISI) (time frame: Up to 300 minutes - measured at the end of each treatment period). 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 25 Jul 2019.
