About this study

Official title: Relative Effects of Chronic Consumption of Egg Protein at Breakfast With and Without Fiber on Brain Neural Activation, Appetite, Glycemic and Lipemic Control and Self-selected Energy Intake

The objectives of the research are to assess the effects of increased protein and fiber intake at breakfast on neural activation in brain regions associated with appetitive drive and reward-driven eating, measures of subjective appetite, and ingestive behavior in overweight adults. Additional outcomes of interest include the effects of the breakfast intervention on blood sugar and cholesterol profiles.

Read the detailed description

The objectives of the research are to assess the effects of increased protein and fiber intake at breakfast on neural activation in brain regions associated with appetitive drive and reward-driven eating, measures of subjective appetite, and ingestive behavior in overweight adults. Additional outcomes of interest include the effects of the breakfast intervention on 24-hour glucose profile as well as fasting and postprandial glycemic and lipemic regulation. The investigators will test the effects of consuming breakfasts with normal protein/normal fiber (NPNF), normal protein/high fiber (NPHF), high protein/normal fiber (HPNF), and high protein/high fiber (HPHF) for two weeks in a randomized cross-over study.

What participants receive

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

  • Dietary control of protein and fiber intake at breakfastOther

    Participants will be provided breakfast meals for 4, 2 week long interventions. The intervention arms are 1) average protein and fiber, 2) average protein and high fiber, 3) high protein and average fiber, and 4) high protein and fiber.

What is being measured

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

  1. Brain activation measured with functional magnetic resonance imaging and its association with measures subjective of appetite, self-selected daily energy intake, and energy intake at an ad libitum lunch.

    Aim 1: Assess the effects of a higher than normal protein and fiber intake at breakfast on neural activation of brain regions associated with appetitive drive and reward-driven eating, measures subjective of appetite, self-selected daily energy intake, and energy intake at an ad libitum lunch.

    Measured: 16 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. 24-hour blood glucose profile

    Aim 2: Assess the effects of higher than normal protein and fiber intake at breakfast on 24-hour glucose profile using a continuous glucose monitoring system.

    Measured: 16 Weeks

  2. Fasting and postprandial blood glucose, insulin, and lipid concentrations

    Aim 3: Assess the effects of higher than normal protein and fiber intake at breakfast on fasting and postprandial glycemic and lipemic regulation.

    Measured: 16 Weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study of Brain Activity and Appetite, run by Purdue University at 2 sites 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 3 inclusion and 9 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 5 Feb 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

Brain activation measured with functional magnetic resonance imaging and its association with measures subjective of appetite, self-selected daily energy intake, and energy intake at an ad libitum lunch. (time frame: 16 weeks). 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 5 Feb 2016.
