Trial summary

Health organizations recommend fiber-rich and whole-grain foods for healthy diets due to their physiological beneficial effects on human health. But, little information is available between these 2 food categories, i.e. fiber added to foods versus fiber naturally present in foods. Read more about this study

About this study

Health organizations recommend fiber-rich and whole-grain foods for healthy diets due to their physiological beneficial effects on human health. But, little information is available between these 2 food categories, i.e. fiber added to foods versus fiber naturally present in foods. The present study investigated the effect of enriching white wheat flour with wheat bran at 2 levels (15 and 30%) to produce 15% fiber-rich bread (15FRB) and 30% fiber-rich bread (30FRB) and compared them with white bread (WB) and whole-grain bread (WGB) in terms of bread quality, palatability, satiety, and glycemic response. Ten healthy subjects were studied on 4 separate days with each subject testing all 4 types of bread. On each test day subjects came to the test center after an overnight fast. After 2 fasting finger-prick blood samples, they ate a portion of one of the breads containing 50g available carbohydrate and had further blood samples at intervals over 2 hours. They also rated their feelings of satiety fasting and at intervals over 2 hours.

Health organizations recommend fiber-rich and whole-grain foods for healthy diets due to their physiological beneficial effects on human health. But, little information is available between these 2 food categories, i.e. fiber added to foods versus fiber naturally present in foods. The present study investigated the effect of enriching white wheat flour with wheat bran at 2 levels (15 and 30%) to produce 15% fiber-rich bread (15FRB) and 30% fiber-rich bread (30FRB) and compared them with white bread (WB) and whole-grain bread (WGB) in terms of bread quality, palatability, satiety, and glycemic response. Ten healthy subjects were studied on 4 separate days with each subject testing all 4 types of bread. On each test day subjects came to the test center after an overnight fast. After 2 fasting finger-prick blood samples 5 minutes apart, they ate a portion of one of the breads containing 50g available carbohydrate and had further blood samples at 15, 30, 45, 60,90 and 120 min after starting to eat. After each blood sample also rated their feelings of satiety on a 7-point scale from extremely hungry to extremely full.

What is being measured

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

  1. Glucose AUC

    Incremental area under the glucose response curve ignoring area below fasting glucose

    Measured: 2 hours

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Satiety AUC

    Incremental area under the satiety response curve

    Measured: 2 hours

  2. Hydrolysis index

    Incremental area under the hydrolysis curve (amount of glucose released during in-vitro digestion of the breads) expressed as a percentage of that for white bread.

    Measured: 2 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Wholegrain bread, White bread and 15% fiber-rich bread in people with Glycemic Response, run by Glycemic Index Laboratories, Inc at 1 site in Canada.

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 1 inclusion and 4 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 21 Jul 2017. 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 Canada. 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 AUC (time frame: 2 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 21 Jul 2017.
