NCT01249378
In this study, the investigators are interested in investigating how the emulsification state and amount of fat in a meal can modify the kinetics of postprandial lipemia and inflammatory outcomes (including endotoxemia) in obese vs lean subjects. 10 lean and 10 obese volunteers will come 3 times (\>3 weeks apart) at the investigation center to receive a standard breakfast containing milk fat (10 g non emulsified, or 40 g non emulsified, or 40 g finely emulsified). 13C triglyceride stable isotopes will allow to follow the metabolic fate of fatty acids and calculate lipid oxidation by breath test. Blood sampling throughout digestion will allow to measure metabolic, lipid and inflammation parameters. Stool will be analysed to determine lipid losses in faeces and to phenotype microbiota.
NCT00974831
The primary objective is to compare the postprandial glycemic response of healthy overweight adults after consuming an amino acid drink mix versus a control drink.
NCT00971347
This is a randomized controlled trial of the effects of chewing gum on body weight. The investigators will randomly assign 200 overweight or mildly obese adults to one of two groups. Participants must be otherwise healthy and ages 19-50. The control group will receive only printed information on optimal diet and increasing physical activity. The intervention group will be instructed to chew gum following meals and in place of snacks for a minimum of 90 minutes per day. The intervention group also will receive the same information on optimal diet and increasing physical activity as the control group. In this 8-week intervention, the primary outcome will be change in body weight, and secondary outcomes will be changes in body mass income (BMI), waist circumference, and blood pressure. The protocol includes 3 clinic visits to assess outcomes: baseline, 4 weeks after randomization, and 8 weeks after randomization. Adherence to the gum chewing protocol will be assessed at clinic visits and during 2 telephone calls at 2 weeks and 6 weeks post-randomization. The investigators' hypothesis is that gum-chewers will lose more weight than those who receive information only.
