NCT ID: NCT06242015 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Glucose Metabolism Disorders

Ordered Eating and Acute Exercise

Start date: February 10, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

There is well documented evidence that ingesting dietary carbohydrate in large amounts tends to increase postprandial glucose. In healthy populations, this is not necessarily a problem, but continuous exposure to high levels of glucose-hyperglycemia-is a defining characteristic and risk factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus. Consuming a carbohydrate-rich food as the final food in a meal sequence has been shown to significantly reduce postprandial glucose excursions in both diabetes patients and in healthy controls. The exact mechanisms behind this phenomenon are not well understood, but one proposed course is simply that the vegetable and protein already being digested slows the rate of glucose rise. Despite the findings, little-to-no research has examined how manipulating the order of foods in a meal impacts subsequent exercise responses. In this experimental crossover study, each participant will undergo two acute feeding conditions (carbohydrate-rich foods first vs. last in a meal), which will be followed by exercise 60 minutes later. We will observe the effects of meal order on postprandial glucose, substrate/fuel utilization, and subjective perceptions at rest and during 30 minutes of exercise.

NCT ID: NCT06082778 Active, not recruiting - Mood Clinical Trials

ZOE's Ferment Experiment

ZHS-FE
Start date: October 9, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

It is not known if an increase in fermented food intake relative to an individuals' habitual diet can lead to improvements in bloating, mood, or hunger levels, or increase energy levels (and reduce fatigue) in the general population. Acceptability of fermented foods across many different types of people and households is also unclear. Therefore, this research aims to investigate the potential effects of increasing fermented food intake on these outcomes, as well as the feasibility of this dietary change.

NCT ID: NCT06061419 Not yet recruiting - Hunger Clinical Trials

The Effect of Huel Powder on Appetite

Start date: September 29, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This project will assess the effect of Huel powdered food on the satiety of 40 generally healthy volunteers compared to a standard breakfast of cornflakes and milk. To achieve this, we will recruit 40 (non-smoking) generally healthy volunteers to attend the study centre on two separate occasions. On each occasion they will arrive at the study centre fasted and will be given their breakfast of either Huel or Cornflakes and milk, matched for calorie content. The aim is to identify the size and duration of any effect on satiety of the two meals.

NCT ID: NCT05804942 Not yet recruiting - Healthy Clinical Trials

Metabolic Response to Variations in Dietary Glycemic Index

Start date: April 13, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this study is to compare metabolic response to variations in dietary glycemic index in healthy participants. The main questions it aims to answer are: • What are the metabolic hunger and food intake responses to different levels of glycemic index on the background of otherwise constant macronutrient composition? Participants will come to the lab after an overnight fast and body composition will be tested by bio-impedance analysis and magnetic resonance imaging. They will then be randomized to eat one of three standardized breakfasts varying in the glycemic index. Circulating glucose levels will be monitored using a continuous glucose monitor and blood samples will be collected to measure metabolic and hormone factors in the serum. Participants will also rate their hunger at 0, 30, 60, 120, 180, 240 and 300 minutes. After 5 hours they will eat a free choice meal from a standardized selection buffet (test meal).

NCT ID: NCT05734209 Completed - Hunger Clinical Trials

How Does Eating Behavior and Hunger in Virtual Reality Meals Compare to Real Meals?

Start date: October 3, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Objective: To investigate the differences between eating virtual and real-life meals and test the hypothesis that eating a virtual meal can reduce hunger among healthy women. Methods: Twenty healthy women will be recruited and partake in a randomized crossover study. The subjects will be asked to eat one introduction meal, two real meals, and two virtual meals, all containing real or virtual meatballs and potatoes. The real meals will be eaten on a plate placed on a scale which communicates with analytical software on a computer. The virtual meals will be eaten in a room, where participants are seated on a real chair in front of a real table, and fitted with the virtual-reality equipment. The eating behavior for both the real and virtual meals will be filmed. Hunger will be measured before and after the meals using questionnaires.

NCT ID: NCT05705596 Completed - Hunger Clinical Trials

Impact of Hesperetin in Combination With Sucrose on Energy Metabolism

Start date: January 31, 2023
Phase: Early Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

The aim of this cross-over intervention study is to investigate the influence of the sweet-modulating substance hesperetin in combination with sucrose in comparison to an equally sweet-tasting sucrose-only solution on markers of energy metabolism.

NCT ID: NCT05342116 Active, not recruiting - Depression Clinical Trials

Carbohydrate Rich Drink Reduces Pre-endoscopic Discomfort for Patients Going for Elective Endoscopic Procedures

Start date: April 4, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The study is a randomised controlled trial that aims to evaluate whether carbohydrate loading pre-endoscopy can improve patients' overall satisfaction and is not associated with negative impact on endoscopic quality or increased complications. A questionnaire will be completed by participants prior to endoscopy.

NCT ID: NCT05196763 Recruiting - Diet, Healthy Clinical Trials

Maximizing Nutrition Education to Meet Dietary and Food Security of Children and Parents

Start date: November 1, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Food insecurity and low diet quality are persistent problems linked with chronic disease and poor health among limited-resource children and adults using Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). We have shown nutrition education via adult-focused, direct SNAP-Education (SNAP-Ed) improved household food security by 25% but not adult dietary quality among SNAP-eligible households using a randomized, controlled, longitudinal SNAP-Ed intervention in Indiana. Households experiencing food insecurity often reserve food considered "healthful" for children, so child dietary quality improvement may precede that observed among adults when household food security improves. This study will determine the effect of adult-focused direct SNAP-Ed on child dietary quality and household food security using a longitudinal randomized, controlled SNAP-Ed intervention. Assessment will include repeated 24-hour dietary recalls to determine usual intake, the U.S. Household Food Security Survey Module, and behavior data from before and after the 10-week "intervention period," and 1 year later, after which the control group will receive the intervention. Low-income participants (n=275) from Indiana will be recruited following SNAP-Ed protocol. Results of the study will inform the creation of supplementary on-demand SNAP-Ed educational material focused on improving healthful dietary intake for children and adults in situations of food insecurity in households with children. Education on modeling healthy attitudes and behaviors, planning and preparing family meals, and dietary shortfalls as informed by the results and previous evidence will be included and evaluated. The study aligns with the goals of USDA to increase food security and this RFP to improve healthful behaviors, food quality and nutrition.

NCT ID: NCT04991714 Completed - Hunger Clinical Trials

Effect of Sweetness Intensity of a Sucrose Solution on Blood Glucose Regulation and Energy Intake

Start date: August 5, 2021
Phase: Early Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

The aim of the present study is to investigate the influence of the modulation of the sweetness intensity of a carbohydrate (sucrose)-containing solution on metabolic effects, in particular the regulation of blood glucose concentration and regulation of hunger & satiety.

NCT ID: NCT04884373 Completed - Fasting Clinical Trials
