Trial summary

Dietary fibers likely have a role in body weight management. They may increase satiety and, as a consequence, reduce energy intake during the next meal. There are, however, many different types of dietary fiber, which have diverse physical properties and can therefore impact these outcomes differently. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Properties of Dietary Fibre and Energy Intake: an Intervention to Study the Effect of Physicochemical Properties of Dietary Fibre on Energy Intake and Underlying Mechanisms

Dietary fibers likely have a role in body weight management. They may increase satiety and, as a consequence, reduce energy intake during the next meal. There are, however, many different types of dietary fiber, which have diverse physical properties and can therefore impact these outcomes differently. It is, however, unclear whether dietary fibers with different properties lead to differences in energy intake during the next meal. The objective of this study is to study the effect of pectin in 4 different physicochemical states on ad libitum energy intake and possible underlying mechanisms; i.e. gastrointestinal hormones, gastric emptying rate, feelings of satiety and the method of fiber supplementation. We hypothesize that viscous and gelling fibers will reduce ad libitum energy intake compared to low viscous and low gelling fibers.

Being tested
control: no fiber addition, breakfast with low viscous, low gelling pectin, high viscous, low gelling pectin, low viscous, high gelling pectin, high viscous, high gelling pectin
Keywords

What is being measured

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

  1. energy intake

    3 hours after ingesting the test breakfast ad libitum energy intake is measured.

    Measured: 3 hours

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. appetite sensations

    appetite is measured by VAS scales over a period of 3 hours after ingestion of a test breakfast

    Measured: 3 hours

  2. satiety hormones

    satiety hormones (ghrelin, PYY, GLP-1, CCK) are measured over a period of 3 hours after ingestion of a test breakfast

    Measured: 3 hours

  3. gastric emptying rate

    gastric emptying rate is measured over a period of 3 hours after ingestion of a test breakfast

    Measured: 3 hours

  4. method of supplementation

    One of the fibers will be offered as tablets that will be ingested with a glass of water right after the test meal.

    Measured: 3 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing breakfast with low viscous, low gelling pectin, high viscous, low gelling pectin and low viscous, high gelling pectin in people with Healthy Male Subjects, run by Wageningen University at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 17 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 26 Dec 2011. 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 Netherlands. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 intake (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 26 Dec 2011.
