Breakfast Cereals Consumed in Dairy and Non-dairy Medium: the Effects on Blood Glucose, Satiety and Food Intake

April 11, 2019 updated by: Bohdan Luhovyy, Mount Saint Vincent University

The Effect of Dairy and Non-Dairy Cultured Products Added to Breakfast Cereals on Satiation, Satiety, Blood Glucose Control and Short-Term Food Intake in Young Adults

The effects of dairy-free products consumed with a breakfast meal on food intake and glycaemic regulation remain unexplored. It is known that dairy products are an excellent source of protein, low glycaemic sugar lactose, calcium, and vitamin D. In our recent study the consumption of a dairy snack with high protein content resulted in reduced blood glucose response compared to non-dairy snack with the similar amount of available carbohydrate. The investigators hypothesize that the ad libitum intake of breakfast cereals served with a high-protein fermented dairy product will result in reduced and sustained blood glucose response compared to non-dairy control. The objective of this study is to investigate how dairy and non-dairy cultured products used as carriers for breakfast granola cereals and consumed ad libitum affect short-term food intake, satiety, and glycaemia within two hours.

Study Overview

Status

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.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Enrollment (Actual)

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.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Postprandial blood glucose concentration
Time Frame: 0-120 minutes
The concentration of blood glucose in venous blood after the ad libitum breakfast meal or water control.
0-120 minutes
Subjective feeling of appetite
Time Frame: 0-120 minutes
The subjective assessment of appetite parameters including desire to eat, fullness, hunger and a prospectiove food consumption measured with 100 mm Visual Analogue Scales with two opposite statements at each end (e.g., for the hunger scale, 0 mm means not hungry at all, and 100 mm means very hungry).
0-120 minutes
Ad libitum food intake
Time Frame: 0-120 minutes
The amount of energy (kcal) consumed ad libitum with the breakfast meal or water control and with the test meal (pizza lunch) two hour later.
0-120 minutes

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Circulatory insulin concentration
Time Frame: 0-120 minutes
The concentration of insulin in blood
0-120 minutes
Subjective feeling of physical comfort
Time Frame: 0-120 minutes
The subjective assessment of wellness and gastrointestinal symptoms including feeling of nausea, diarrhoea, flatulence and other parameters measured with 100 mm Visual Analogue Scales with two opposite statements at each end.
0-120 minutes
Subjective feeling of food palatability (pleasantness)
Time Frame: 0, 120 minutes
The pleasantness of the breakfast meal and pizza meal measured with 100 mm Visual Analogue Scales with two opposite statements at each end.(e.g., 0 mm means that food is not pleasant at all, and 100 mm means that the food is very pleasant).
