SucroMet Nutritional Intervention Trial

SucroMet' Nutritional Intervention: Study of the Metabolic Impact of Sucrose (Natural Sugar) and Sucralose (Artificial Sweetener) Intake at Different Doses and Modes of Consumption in Adults With Normal Weight, Overweight, and Obesity

SucroMet is designed to evaluate how adding two commonly used sweeteners-sucrose (table sugar) and sucralose (a low-calorie sweetener)-at low and high doses may influence glucose regulation, including insulin resistance and fasting plasma glucose, in adults aged 18 to 65 years with normal weight, overweight, or obesity.

The low-dose intervention consists of 5% of the Estimated Energy Requirement (EER) from sucrose or 5 sucralose tablets per day (approximately 33.35 mg/day of sucralose). The high-dose intervention consists of 10% of EER from sucrose or 10 sucralose tablets per day (approximately 66.7 mg/day of sucralose). These doses maintain the planned 1:2 exposure ratio between the low- and high-dose intervention groups.

Before the intervention begins, participants' habitual dietary intake is assessed and, when necessary, minor dietary adjustments are made to support a stable overall eating pattern while maintaining energy intake. Participants then complete a four-week run-in period during which these recommendations are followed, and dietary records are used to verify dietary stability before the intervention starts.

Participants will consume the assigned sweetener incorporated into foods or beverages that they already consume as part of their habitual diet, without substantial changes to their usual eating patterns. The intervention includes two consecutive 12-week phases, one involving solid food intake and the other involving liquid intake, separated by a two-week washout period. This design allows evaluation of the effects of sweetener type, dose, and mode of consumption.

The primary outcomes are changes in glucose regulation, including fasting plasma glucose and insulin resistance assessed by HOMA-IR. Secondary outcomes include changes in body composition, anthropometric measurements, blood pressure, routine biochemical parameters, gut microbiota composition, DNA methylation patterns in peripheral blood cells, and biomarkers related to inflammation, oxidative stress, and metabolomic profiles measured in blood and urine.

Participants will attend scheduled study visits for anthropometric assessments, dietary evaluations, and biological sample collection. Blood, urine, and stool samples will be obtained at baseline and after each intervention phase.

The study aims to address the following questions:

  1. Do metabolic responses to sucrose and sucralose, including changes in insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and fasting plasma glucose, differ according to participants' body mass index (BMI)?
  2. Do low and high doses of sucrose and sucralose differentially affect glucose regulation, body composition, and metabolic health?
  3. Does the mode of intake (solid versus liquid) influence changes in gut microbiota composition?
  4. Are changes in DNA methylation patterns in peripheral blood cells associated with the consumption of sucrose and sucralose at different doses and in different forms?
  5. Do different doses of sucrose and sucralose influence biomarkers related to inflammation, oxidative stress, and metabolomic profiles?

Detailní popis

SucroMet is a randomized controlled nutritional intervention designed to investigate the metabolic effects of sucrose and sucralose consumption under conditions that closely reflect habitual dietary practices. The study aims to determine whether sweetener type, dose, and mode of consumption influence glucose regulation and related biological pathways in adults with normal weight, overweight, or obesity. The study evaluates the independent and combined effects of sweetener type, dose, and mode of consumption. By maintaining overall dietary habits and energy intake as stable as possible throughout the intervention, the design aims to isolate the specific contribution of sweetener exposure to observed metabolic changes.

A distinctive feature of the study is the comparison of sweeteners administered in both solid and liquid forms, allowing assessment of whether the food matrix modifies physiological responses. The study also examines whether responses differ according to adiposity status, enabling exploration of potential interactions between sweetener exposure and body mass index.

Beyond glucose regulation, the study investigates several biological pathways that may contribute to individual variability in response to sweetener intake, including gut microbiota composition, epigenetic regulation, inflammation, oxidative stress, and systemic metabolic profiles. The integration of clinical, biochemical, molecular, and metabolomic data is intended to provide a comprehensive characterization of the biological effects associated with long-term sweetener consumption.

The results are expected to improve understanding of the metabolic consequences of sucrose and sucralose intake and to contribute evidence relevant to future nutritional recommendations and public health strategies.
