Goji Berries and Energy Expenditure
2017年1月31日 更新者：Maastricht University Medical Center
The Effect of a Single Dose of Lycium Barbarum on Postprandial Energy Expenditure in Healthy Overweight Men
Effects of foods or food substances on energy expenditure are of particular interest, because of the increasing prevalence of obesity and its consequent metabolic diseases like type II diabetes and fatty liver disease, all risk factors for the development of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs).
Recently, the Goji berry (Lycium Barbarum, wolfberry) was introduced into the Western diet.
L. Barbarum originates from Asia, where it is used to improve the health of several organs.
Although L. Barbarum is promoted as a super food with many beneficial effects, consistent scientific evidence for these effects is lacking.
In one study, it was found that short-term intake of L. Barbarum polysaccharides - equal to 150 g of fresh berries - increased postprandial oxygen consumption.
This indicates that L. Barbarum might exert beneficial effects on energy expenditure.
Furthermore, long-term intervention trials have shown beneficial effects of L. Barbarum on lipid and glucose metabolism in mice and type II diabetic patients and on inflammatory status in healthy elderly.
Altogether, L. Barbarum has the potential to be used as a functional food to increase metabolic health, but detailed information on the postprandial effects of L. Barbarum is missing.
We therefore propose this double-blinded, randomized, placebo controlled intervention trial to investigate the effect of a single dose of L. Barbarum on postprandial energy expenditure substrate oxidation, metabolic flexibility, lipid and glucose metabolism and inflammatory markers.

详细说明
Objectives:
The primary objective of this study is to investigate the effect of a single dose of L. Barbarum on postprandial energy expenditure. Secondary objectives are to investigate the effect of a single dose of L. Barbarum on postprandial lipid and carbohydrate oxidation and metabolic flexibility, on postprandial lipid and glucose metabolism and on inflammatory markers.
Study design:
This is a double blind, randomized, placebo-controlled intervention trial with two test days separated by a washout period of at least 1 week.
Study population:
The study population will consist of 20 apparently healthy overweight (BMI between 25 and 30 kg/m2) men aged 18-65 years.
Intervention:
All subjects will receive a mixed meal including 25 grams of dried L. Barbarum as the intervention product and a matched mixed meal without L. Barbarum as the placebo product. The meals will be matched for energy content and macronutrient composition.

|---|---|
|
实验性的：Lycium Barbarum mixed meal
Subjects will receive a high-fat mixed meal containing Lycium Barbarum once.
|
This mixed meal contains 25 grams of dried Lycium Barbarum (Goji berry, Wolfberry)
|
|

措施说明 |
大体时间 |
|---|---|---|
|
Change from baseline energy expenditure
大体时间：Measured as the incremental area under the curve (iAUC) from 0 minutes to 140 minutes after meal intake
|
Energy expenditure will be measured using indirect calorimetry (ventilated hood system).
This system measures oxygen consumption (VO2) and carbon dioxide production (VCO2) to calculate the energy expenditure (kJ/min)
|
