About this study

Official title: Effects of Glucose-fructose Drinks During Training on Lactate Transport and Oxidation and on Endurance Performance

The purpose of this study is to determine whether glucose-fructose intake during training increases lactate transport and oxidation and improve endurance performance.

Read the detailed description

The study will enroll 24 healthy male volunteers. After baseline assessment of lactate transport and endurance performance, subjects will be randomized to either a 3-week intervention arm in which they will train with glucose-fructose intake during training, or to a control arm (water during training). After this 3-week intervention, lactate transport and endurance performance will be assessed again.

What participants receive

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

  • Glucose-fructoseDietary supplement

    0.8 g/h glucose and 0.5 g/h fructose during training

  • WaterDietary supplement

    Only water intake during training

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in lactate transport

    Measurement of lactate production, utilization, oxidation and clearance during a 90 min cycling exercise at 50% VO2 max (measured with 13C-lactate)

    Measured: At baseline (before training) and after the 3-week training protocol

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change in muscle monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs) expression and protein content

    MCTs expression (mRNA) and protein content after muscle biopsy

    Measured: At baseline (before training) and after the 3-week training protocol

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Glucose-fructose and Water in people with Normal Physiology on Healthy Subjects, run by University of Lausanne at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 5 inclusion and 11 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 4 Jun 2014. 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 Switzerland. 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 lactate transport (time frame: At baseline (before training) and after the 3-week training protocol). 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 NCT01610986, 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 4 Jun 2014.
