About this study

Official title: The Effect of Daily Consumption of a Fruit Juice on Acute Satiety Response and Gut Microbiota Changes in Healthy Adults

The "cLabel+ Innovative natural, nutritious and consumer-oriented clean label food" is a research and technological development project centered on responding to the challenges facing the food industry. It is focused on the concept of "clean label", which emerges as one of the major current trends in the sector, given the growing number of consumers who are increasingly aware and eager for information, who are looking for alternative, more transparent and natural food products.

Thus, one of the aims of the cLabel+ project is to research the macronutrients and phenolic compounds present in food matrices and achieve a clean label positioning for the final products developed. This single group assignment clinical trial aims to evaluate the effect of daily consumption of a fruit juice, developed as part of the collaborative project cLabel+, on gut microbiota composition and diversity in healthy adults. It is also intended to study the acute metabolic effect, namely in terms of appetite control, and lipid and glucose metabolism.

What is being measured

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

  1. Changes in gut microbiota characterization

    Differences in gut microbiota taxonomic characterization from baseline to the end of the intervention.

    Measured: 14 days

  2. Changes in gut microbiota diversity

    Difference in gut microbiota Shannon index, from baseline to the end of intervention.

    Measured: 14 days

  3. Changes in the iAUC (pmol/L*min) for ghrelin

    Ghrelin will be measured in fasting and every 30 minutes up to 3 hours. The iAUC (pmol/L*min) for ghrelin will be calculated based on the concentration curve following consumption of the fruit juice.

    Measured: 14 days

  4. Changes in the iAUC (pmol/L*min) for glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)

    GLP-1 will be measured in fasting and every 30 minutes up to 3 hours. The iAUC (pmol/L*min) for GLP-1 will be calculated based on the concentration curve following consumption of the fruit juice.

    Measured: 14 days

  5. Changes in the iAUC (pmol/L*min) for peptide YY (PYY)

    PYY will be measured in fasting and every 30 minutes up to 3 hours. The iAUC (pmol/L*min) for PYY will be calculated based on the concentration curve following consumption of the fruit juice.

    Measured: 14 days

Secondary outcomes (15)
  1. Changes in fasting glucose

    Changes in fasting glucose, measured in mg/dL, from baseline to the end of intervention.

    Measured: 14 days

  2. Changes in fasting insulin

    Changes in fasting insulin, measured in mg/dL, from baseline to the end of intervention.

    Measured: 14 days

  3. Changes in HOMA-IR

    Changes in HOMA-IR from baseline to the end of intervention.

    Measured: 14 days

  4. Changes in total cholesterol

    Changes in total cholesterol, measured in mg/dL, from baseline to the end of intervention.

    Measured: 14 days

  5. Changes in LDL cholesterol

    Changes in LDL cholesterol, measured in mg/dL, from baseline to the end of intervention.

    Measured: 14 days

  6. Changes in HDL cholesterol

    Changes in HDL cholesterol, measured in mg/dL, from baseline to the end of intervention.

    Measured: 14 days

  7. Changes in triacylglycerols

    Changes in triacylglycerols, measured in mg/dL, from baseline to the end of intervention.

    Measured: 14 days

  8. Changes in high sensitivity PCR

    Changes in high sensitivity PCR, measured in mg/dL, from baseline to the end of intervention.

    Measured: 14 days

  9. Changes in expired breath H2

    Changes in expired breath H2, measured in ppm, from baseline to the end of intervention.

    Measured: 14 days

  10. Changes in expired breath CH4

    Changes in expired breath CH4, measured in ppm, from baseline to the end of intervention.

    Measured: 14 days

  11. Changes in faecal butyrate

    Changes in faecal butyrate, measured in M, from baseline to the end of intervention.

    Measured: 14 days

  12. Changes in faecal acetate

    Changes in faecal acetate, measured in M, from baseline to the end of intervention.

    Measured: 14 days

  13. Changes in faecal alkaline phosphatase (ALP)

    Changes in faecal ALP, measured in mg/g faeces, from baseline to the end of intervention.

    Measured: 14 days

  14. Changes in faecal LPS

    Changes in faecal LPS, measured in EU/mL, from baseline to the end of intervention.

    Measured: 14 days

  15. Changes in faecal calprotectin

    Changes in faecal calprotectin, measured in µg/g faeces, from baseline to the end of intervention.

    Measured: 14 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Fruit juice in people with Healthy, run by Universidade Nova de Lisboa at 1 site in Portugal.

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 12 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 3 May 2023. 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 Portugal. 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?

Changes in gut microbiota characterization (time frame: 14 days). The study lists 5 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 3 May 2023.
