About this study

This randomized crossover trial will investigate the metabolic responses following the consumption of a bagel+juice meal under 3 conditions: control, fiber (positive control), and postmeal walk in15 healthy adults. It is hypothesized that the postmeal walk will reduce glycemia, insulinemia, and oxidative stress similar to fiber.

Read the detailed description

The study will follow a randomized, crossover design. Participants and the investigator will be blinded for the control treatments but not for the walk treatment. Participants will complete 3 meal tests; tests are separated by about 1 week. An initial screening visit will be scheduled for the online survey respondents that meet the inclusion criteria and are willing to consider participation. At this visit, written consent will be secured followed by further screening for the exclusion criteria and the collection of demographic and health history data and anthropometric measures. A fasting blood sample will be collected for glucose analysis. Participants will be scheduled for experimental testing and provided with instructions and calendars. Participants will be given at least one week's notice if they do not qualify for the trial based on fasting glucose concentrations.

On the day prior to each experimental day, the participants will consume 2 bagels (54 g carbohydrate/bagel), and on the night prior to each visit, participants will consume a standard dinner of their choice. (The bagels will be provided to participants and the standardized dinner will be documented. The bagels and standardized dinner meal will facilitate controlled 'glycogen loading' prior to testing.) No other food will be consumed after this dinner meal, and participants will fast overnight until they arrive at the research center the next morning (e.g., no food or beverage with the exception of water). Fasting blood (1 tablespoon) will be collected and the test meal (bagel+juice) will be consumed. Postprandial blood samples will be collected for 4 hours (see below). The subjects will not be allowed to consume any food or beverage (with the exception of water) through the duration the visit. A snack will be provided to participants once the testing is over.

Glucose: 0,15,30,60,120, 180, 240 Insulin: 0, 30, 120, 180, 240 Oxidative Stress Markers: 0, 180, 240

The blood insulin level will be determined in venous blood by RIA. Capillary blood glucose will be determined with a glucometer. Oxidative stress, e.g., total antioxidant capacity, IL-6, and TBARS will be assessed using microplate analyses kits.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 15-minute walk at preferred walking speed. and Fiber in people with PreDiabetes and Postprandial Hyperglycemia, run by Arizona State University.

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 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 23 Jul 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Postprandial glycemia (time frame: 4 hours). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 23 Jul 2021.
