Detaillierte Beschreibung
The obesity epidemic is well documented, and despite a complex etiology influenced by genetic, physiological, psychological, social, behavioral, and environmental factors, obesity seems to be the result of energy imbalance, where energy intake exceeds energy expenditure, regardless of the internal and external influences. Studies aiming to quantify and manipulate modulators of energy balance, including gastrointestinal (GI) energy absorption rates (i.e., digestibility), are crucial for reducing the incidence of overweight and obesity and improving overall human health. Despite considerable interindividual variability in the amount of ingested energy that is absorbed (~87-98% of ingested energy) by the gastrointestinal tract, generalized equations are used to calculate individual energy intake requirements, and the factors that contribute to such variability, including meal-timing, are largely unknown.
The proposed study seeks to determine the effects of restricting the eating window to 6-h (early time-restricted eating) as compared to a control eating window of 12 h on energy and macronutrient digestibility, thermic effect of food (TEF), postprandial blood metabolites (triglyceride, insulin, glucose, fructose, galactose, inositol, and sorbitol), 24 h glucose concentrations and glycemic variability, intestinal hydrogen gas production, microbiome composition, and gastrointestinal transit time in response to a controlled, energy balanced diet. In addition, this project will determine whether energy digestibility can be predicted from biological and physiological factors such as gut microbiota composition, gastrointestinal transit time, 24-h glucose concentrations, and postabsorptive and postprandial metabolomic profiles.
Participants will be randomized to early TRE (6-h feeding window, 8am-2pm) or a control eating schedule (12-h feeding window, 8am-8pm) and consume a controlled, energy balance diet (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, and beverages) for 9 consecutive days before crossing over to the other intervention after at least a 3-wk washout for females (to control for hormonal fluctuations) and at least a 2-wk washout for males. Participants will collect stool and urine during each feeding phase. Gross energy content (heat combustion by bomb calorimetry) of the diet, stool, and urine samples will be used to calculate energy digestibility (diet gross energy - stool gross energy) and metabolizable energy. Factors that may mediate and/or predict energy digestibility efficiency, including gastrointestinal microbial composition, transit time, and gas production, fasting and postprandial metabolites, continuous glucose concentrations, and thermogenesis will be assessed.
