About this study

Official title: Acute Effects of Sn-1 and Sn-3 Palmitic Acid-rich or Stearic Acid-rich Fats on Postprandial Lipemia, Haemostatic and Inflammatory Markers, Gut Hormone Concentrations, Satiety, and Insulinemic Response in Human Volunteers

To determine the effect of degree of fat saturation on postprandial lipemia, haemostatic and inflammatory markers, gut hormone concentrations, satiety perceptions, and insulinemic responses in healthy adult subjects.

Study hypothesis: The degree of fat saturation does not affect postprandial lipemia, haemostatic and inflammatory markers, gut hormone concentrations, insulinemic or satiety responses in health adult subjects.

Read the detailed description

The experimental are comprise of 50g fat, 14g protein and 84g carbohydrate. Each of the test fat [palm mid fraction (PMF), shea butter (SB) and high oleic sunflower oil (HOSF)] will be compared which will be in a form of experimental meals (muffin).

33 volunteers receives 3 experimental meals (muffins) in a random order, 2 week apart, over a 6-week period. They will be randomized, blinded and will undergo a 3x3 arms crossover. The first 15-ml ("0" min) fasting venous blood samples is obtained. Immediately thereafter, the subject consumes the test meal plus a glass of water within 15 minutes. The time sequence is started mid-way of consuming the test meal.

At 30 min, 60 min, 90, 120 min (2 hr), 150 min and 180 min (3 hr), 210 min, and 240 min (4 hr), 15-ml each of blood is collected (via a vascular catheter inserted earlier in the subjects hand/arm).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Palm Mid Fraction, Shea Butter, High Oleic Sunflower Oil in people with Healthy, run by Malaysia Palm Oil Board at 1 site in Malaysia.

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 4 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Malaysia. 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?

glucose-dependent insulintropic polypeptide (GIP) (time frame: 4 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 31 Oct 2013.
