Breakfast Consumption and Its Effects on Glycemic, Insulinemic and Non-Esterified Fatty Acids Responses (BEGIN)

May 10, 2019 updated by: JeyaKumar Henry
The aim of this study is to determine whether eating breakfast or having no breakfast has subsequent beneficial health effects, specifically in relation to glycemic response throughout the day and postprandial insulin and non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) responses 6 hours after breakfast/lunch.

Study Overview

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This will be a randomised, crossover study with two treatments in total. 1.) Subjects given with breakfast, 2.) Subjects not given breakfast. Each of the two test visits will last for approximately 9 hour (spanning over 3 days), during which the following will take place: On Day 1, subjects will come to have the continuous glucose monitoring (CGMS) system inserted. CGMS will be used to measure 24 hour blood glucose concentrations. On Day 2, an indwelling catheter will be inserted into the ante cubital fossa or forearm vein of one arm and will be kept patent. One fasting blood sample (baseline; 4 milliliters of venous blood) will be collected. Participants with breakfast treatment will then consume the test meal within 15 minutes. Subsequently, blood samples will be taken at 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 150 and 180 minutes.At time 180 minutes, participants will be given a standardized lunch to be consumed within 30 minutes. Blood samples will be taken after lunch at 210, 240, 270, 300, 330 and 360 minutes. On Day 3, subjects will need to come for removal of the CGMS sensor. Subjects will come to the CNRC again for the 2nd test visit, with at least 3 days wash-out in-between visits.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

40 years to 65 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Genders Eligible for Study

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure.
