Clinical Trial Summary

The objective of this study is to assess whether intake of baked and then chilled potatoes over a 24-h period, compared to intake of isocaloric, carbohydrate (CHO)-matched foods low in fiber and resistant starch (RS), will increase insulin sensitivity, breath hydrogen and satiety, and decrease hunger and free fatty acid (FFA) levels in overweight or obese men and women at risk for metabolic syndrome and diabetes mellitus.

Description:

This randomized, two-period crossover study will include one screening/baseline visit (visit 1) and two 24-h treatment periods (treatment period 1: visits 2 and 3 and treatment period 2: visits 4 and 5). A minimum 7-d washout will occur between the treatment periods.

1. With the exception of the stable use of statins (defined as no initiation or dose alteration within 4 weeks of visit 1) any medications intended to alter the lipid profile, including but not limited to: bile acid sequestrants, cholesterol absorption inhibitor, fibrates, niacin (drug form), omega-3-ethyl ester drugs, and/or proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors.

2. Medications known to significantly influence carbohydrate metabolism, including, but not limited to, adrenergic receptor blockers, diuretics, and/or hypoglycemic medications.

3. Weight-loss drugs (including over-the-counter medications) or weight loss programs.

4. Systemic corticosteroid drugs.

9. Subject has used any of the following foods or dietary supplements within 2 weeks of visit 1:

1. Food/supplements known to influence lipid metabolism, including, but not limited to, omega-3 fatty acid supplements (e.g., flaxseed, fish or algal oils) or fortified foods, sterol/stanol products; dietary supplements (red rice yeast supplements; garlic supplements; soy isoflavone supplements; niacin or its analogues at doses >400 mg/d (or others at the discretion of the Investigator).

2. Irregular or inconsistent use of Metamucil® or other viscous fiber-containing supplements (consistent, daily use up to 1 tsp of a viscous-fiber supplement is acceptable).

10. Subject has used antibiotics within 5 days of any clinic visit: For those with an active infection and/or using antibiotics, subjects must wait at least 5 d after the infection resolves or antibiotic use is complete. The test period will be extended for study completion in these cases.

11. Subject is a female who is pregnant, planning to be pregnant during the study period, lactating, or is of childbearing potential and is unwilling to commit to the use of a medically approved form of contraception throughout the study period.

12. Subject has extreme dietary habits (e.g. very low CHO diet, vegan, etc.).

13. Subject has a history of an eating disorder (e.g., anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, or binge eating) diagnosed by a health professional.

14. Subject is a habitual breakfast skipper (defined as skipping breakfast =4 times per week).

15. Subject has a current or recent history (past 12 months), or strong potential, for drug or alcohol abuse. Alcohol abuse is defined as >14 drinks per week (1 drink = 12 oz beer, 5 oz wine, or 1 ½ oz distilled spirits).

16. Subject has been exposed to any non-registered drug product within 30 days of visit 1.

17. Individual has a condition the Investigator believes would interfere with his or her ability to provide informed consent or comply with the study protocol, or which might confound the interpretation of the study results or put the person at undue risk.
