| Scientific title | Oral hydroxycitric acid (HCA) supplementation enhances glycogen synthesis in exercised human skeletal 1 muscle: a randomised placebo-controlled cross-over trial |
| Study acronym | HCA, GLUT4,FAT/CD36 |
| Study hypothesis | In this study, we tested the hypothesis that oral hydroxycitric acid (HCA) supplementation might increase muscle glycogen stores and increase insulin sensitivity after exercise in humans, based on the evidence from mice studies. |
| Ethics approval(s) | National Taiwan Sport University Ethics Committee approved on the 12th December 2006 |
| Condition | Glycogen synthesis in human skeletal muscle |
| Intervention | Since we aimed to determine the HCA effect on recovery, HCA and placebo meals were provided to the subjects immediately after exercise. HCA trial provided a meal containing 70% carbohydrate content with 500 mg HCA in half litre of drinking water for a 3-hour recovery, whereas the placebo trial (placebo, eight comparisons) provided a diet containing 70% carbohydrate content plus same volume of drinking water. In particular, carbohydrate meal contained 2 g carbohydrate per kilogram of body weight. The decision for HCA dosage was based on previous human report which demonstrated positive ergogenic effect on endurance performance. Subjects performed a 60-mins cycling at 75% VO2max. Muscle biopsy samples, blood samples and gaseous samples were obtained immediately after exercise and during 3 hours after exercise. |

| Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s) | Hydroxycitric acid |
| Primary outcome measure | Glycogen assay. Approximately 25 mg of skeletal muscle from the deep portion of the vastus lateralis was dissolved in 1 N KOH at 75°C for 30 minutes. Dissolved homogenate was neutralised by glacial acetic acid and incubated overnight in acetate buffer (0.3 M sodium acetate, pH to 4.8) containing amyloglucosidase (Boehringer Mannheim, Indianapolis, IN). The reaction mixture was neutralised with 1 N NaOH. Samples were then analysed by measuring glucosyl units by the Trinder reaction (Sigma, St. Louis, MO). |
| Secondary outcome measures | Molecular expressions of GLUT4, FAT/CD36, measured with reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and western blotting |
