About this study

Official title: Role of Gastrointestinal Appetite Hormones in the Success of Body Mass Loss Interventions Based on Exercise Combined With Calorie-restricted Diets With Different Fat and Carbohydrate Content

The main aim of this study is to investigate the effect of energy-restricted low and high-carbohydrate diet combined with exercise training on appetite regulatory hormones, subjective appetite and energy intake in overweight and obese women. In addition, since the macronutrient composition of meals and exercise impacts biomarkers of cardiovascular disease, the impact of these interactions on metabolic risk factors of cardiovascular diseases will also be investigated .

Read the detailed description

This will be a block randomised parallel study, with one group of participants undergoing exercise training combined with the consumption of a calorie-restricted high CHO-low FAT diet and another group undergoing exercise training with consumption of a calorie-restricted low CHO-high FAT diet. The interventions will last for 4 weeks. Prior to and after the interventions participants will undergo a 5-hour experimental trial, which will involve body composition measurements by the D2O method, appetite hormones, insulin via blood collection and subjective appetite via a visual analogue scale. During the experimental trials, participants will consume breakfast and ad libitum buffet-style lunch.

Prior to the first experimental trial, participants will be subjected to a screening process followed by a preliminary exercise test in the metabolic research unit at New Lister Building (NLB), Glasgow Royal infirmary (GRI). Participants will also be asked to record their food and drink consumed for 4 days (3 weekdays and 1 weekend) prior to and during the four last days of the intervention. By following this step, individual diets will be designed based on participants preferences with restricted energy intake and different macronutrient compositions. Dietary intake records will allow a comparison of participants' calorie intake before and after the intervention.

During intervention participants will consume either energy-restricted low CHO-high FAT or energy-restricted high CHO-Low FAT diet and exercise (brisk walking) while wearing a heart rate monitor 3 times a week after 5 minutes of warm-up, and 5 minutes The duration of the brisk walking will increase after week one from 30 to 45 minutes and to 60 minutes at week three and four. Participants will be advised to cool down after the brisk walking session. During the intervention, participants will be encouraged to avoid alcohol consumption. In case this was not possible, a maximum amount of two units will be allowed per week.

What participants receive

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

  • caloric restrction high carbohydrate low fat diet with exercise training programCombination product

    Subjects will perform 3 sessions/week of brisk walking for four weeks at a heart rate corresponding to 85-90% of the lactate threshold. The duration of exercise sessions will increase from 30 minutes to 45 minutes in week 2 and from 45 minutes to 60 minutes in weeks 3 and 4.

    Experimental diets will be calorie-restricted and provide 70% of estimated daily energy requirements. In the high CHO-low FAT diet, carbohydrates, fat, and protein will provide 60%, 25%, and 15% of individually predicted daily energy intake, respectively. Variety (n=7) of daily menus for calorie-restricted high FAT-low CHO diet will be provided and menus for high CHO-low FAT diet on pasta, rice, oats, fruit, and vegetable.During the intervention, participants will be encouraged to avoid alcohol consumption and only the maximum amount of two units will be allowed per week.

    Experimental diets will be calorie-restricted and provide 70% of estimated daily energy requirements. In the low CHO-high FAT diet, the proportion of energy provided by CHO, fat, and protein will consist of 25%, 60%, and 15%, respectively. Variety (n=7) of daily menus for calorie-restricted low CHO-high FAT diet will be provided and menus for high FAT-low CHO group will be based on meat, fish, cheese, butter, and nuts.During the intervention, participants will be encouraged to avoid alcohol consumption and only the maximum amount of two units will be allowed per week.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing caloric restrction high carbohydrate low fat diet with exercise training program and caloric restrction high fat low carbohydrate diet with exercise training program in people with Gastrointestinal Hormones, run by University of Glasgow at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 7 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Apr 2024. 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 United Kingdom. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Dr Dalia Malkova (01412018690, Dalia.Malkova@glasgow.ac.uk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Gastrointestinal appetite hormones (time frame: 240 minutes through study completion). 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 18 Apr 2024.
