Clinical Trial Summary

Randomized, balanced, incomplete block design exploratory study of efficacy, with 8 active treatments (4 treatments per subject; 35 or 37 subjects per treatment) compared to a reference treatment (all 72 subjects).


Description:

Incomplete block design cross over study in which the subjects consumed commercial rice porridge (60 grams of extruded rice to which 300 ml of boiling water was added) in the morning in a fasted state. On each visit one of the seven different natural exacts was mixed into this porridge just before consumption. The reference was consumed by all subjects and consisted of plain porridge with no extract added.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Other Post-prandial serum insulin Post-prandial serum insulin Area under versus time curves Total Area under the insulin versus time Curve 0-2 hours after the intake.
Other Glucose in urine Glucose in urine was measured using dipsticks with a detection limit of 2.28 mmol/L Subjects were asked to empty their bladder before study product intake (-20 minutes) and again before leaving the site ( 450 minutes). In these two samples and in all additional urine samples voided while subjects were on site, glucose was analyzed
Primary Post-prandial blood glucose Glucose concentration in venous plasma Positive incremental Area under the glucose versus time Curve between 0 (before) and 2 hours.
Secondary Breath hydrogen excretion Hydrogen gas in exhaled breath. When a subject produced 10 ppm hydrogen or more above the basal breath hydrogen level the treatment was regarded as a "positive" Fifteen minutes before (basal) and 65, 125, 185, 245, 305, 365 and 425 minutes after the ingestion of the test products
Secondary Intestinal discomfort An intestinal discomfort questionnaire was administered. The questionnaire asked whether subjects had experienced 1) flatulence, 2) nausea, 3) bloating or 4) pain in the bowels. Percentage of "Yes" scores was calculated per discomfort. Ten minutes before (baseline) and at 130, 250, 370 and 420 minutes after the ingestion of the test products.
Secondary Stool consistency and number of stools Stool consistency was evaluated by semi-quantitative Bristol scale (score between 1 = constipation and 7 = watery diarrhea). 24 hours before study product intake, during 7 hour the test day and in the 17 hours after the test day (telephone interview).
