Study information

Primary study designInterventional
Study designDouble blind placebo controlled crossover design
Secondary study designRandomised controlled trial
Scientific title
Study objectivesLong-chain triglyceride (LCT) emulsions with di-unsaturated fatty acids will lead to enhanced postprandial satiety and reduced energy intake in a subsequent meal, as compared to LCT emulsions with mono-unsaturated or saturated fatty acids.
Ethics approval(s)Received from local medical ethics committee
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedObesity, overweight (BMI greater than or equal to 25 kg/m^2)
InterventionSaline (control) or a 5 g emulsion consisting either of mainly unsaturated fats (18:0), mono-unsaturated fat (18:1) or di-unsaturated fat (18:2) will be administered to the ileum on 4 consecutive days, using a 270 cm catheter.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measure(s)

To assess whether emulsions differing in degree of saturation have different effects when administered in the ileum, on satiety as measured by visual analogue scales, and food intake during ad libitum lunch.

Key secondary outcome measure(s)

To assess the effect of emulsions differing in degree of saturation, when infused in the ileum on gastric emptying, intestinal transit time and on secretion of peptides known to affect satiety.
Peptides we will measure are Ghrelin and CCK as proximal gut hormones and Apo A-IV and PYY as distal gut hormones (ileal brake).

Key inclusion criteria1. Signed informed consent form
2. Sex: male or female
3. Age: 18 - 55 years
4. Body mass index (BMI): 18 - 32 kg/m^2
Key exclusion criteria1. Evidence of severe cardiovascular, respiratory, urogenital, gastrointestinal/ hepatic, hematological/immunologic, HEENT (head, ears, eyes, nose, throat), dermatological/connective tissue, musculoskeletal, metabolic/nutritional, endocrine, neurological/psychiatric diseases, allergy, major surgery and/or laboratory assessments which might limit participation in or completion of the study protocol
2. Gastrointestinal or hepatic disorders influencing gastrointestinal absorption or transit
3. The use of psychotropic drugs, including: benzodiazepines or alcohol in excess of 21 units/week for males and 14 units/week for females
4. Concomitant medication that can increase gastric pH (e.g. antacids, protonpump-inhibitors, prostaglandins, anticholinergic agents, H2-receptor antagonists), or alter gastric emptying (e.g. metoclopramide, cisapride, domperidone and erythromycin, anticholinergics, tricyclic antidepressants, narcotic analgesics, adrenergic agents, calcium channel blockers), or alter intestinal transit (e.g. loperamide, chemical/osmotic/bulk laxatives), or influence satiety/energy intake (e.g. sibutramine, glucocorticoids, anabolic steroids)
5. Intolerance of Slim Fast product or of ingredients of the ad libitum meal
6. Pregnancy, lactation, wish to become pregnant during study, or having a positive pregnancy test at inclusion
