Use of Stable Carbon And Nitrogen Isotopes to Improve Dietary Assessment

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

In this research study, the investigators will use a novel approach to measure what people eat. The goal is to find out whether stable isotopes that can be measured in blood, hair, and fingernails are better at measuring what people eat than the surveys that are currently used. To meet the goal, the investigators will do three things. First, the investigators will feed study participants known amounts of foods and nutrients. Second, after study participants have eaten the food, the investigators will measure stable isotopes in samples of study participants' blood, hair, and fingernails. Third, the investigators will determine how well these samples reflect what was eaten. The investigators will also give surveys to study participants to determine how well the surveys reflect what was eaten. This will allow the investigators to do a relative comparison of the measurements from isotopes and surveys.

Clinical Trial Description

This is a controlled feeding study in which the relative validity of stable carbon and nitrogen isotope ratio analysis as a biomarker of dietary intake is compared to controlled feedings and multiple 24-hour recalls. Participants will be randomly assigned to a sequence of diets to be fed on four occasions. Participants will undergo 24 hours of controlled feeding on four non-consecutive days over a month-long period. On the day after feeding, participants will complete 24-hour dietary recalls, and provide blood, hair, and fingernail samples for isotope ratio analyses. The investigators will use a crossover design and the diets will be either high or low in C4 plants (i.e., corn and cane products). A 24-hour urine collection will be done at home during each 24-hour feeding period. Participants will have height and weight measured at the screening visit. Weight will also be measured at each study visit. Additionally, data will be collected via questionnaires administered at each study visit. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
