NCT02770833

Brief Summary

The hypothesis is that seafood proteins given in combination with carbohydrates with low GI are superior to seafood proteins in combination with carbohydrates with high GI and meat in combination with both carbohydrates with low and high GI in promoting energy expenditure and satiety. The overall objective of this study is to investigate the acute effects of meals containing fish versus meat proteins on energy balance (thermogenesis, appetite regulating hormones and appetite sensations), markers of glucose allostatis and amino acid metabolism.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Differences in diet induced thermogenesis between the four test meals

    In the following three hours after eating the test meal respiratory gas exchange will be measured 6x25 minutes with 5 minutes breaks in between each measurement. Diet induced thermogenesis (DIT) will be measured by indirect calorimetry using a ventilated hood system. Each measurement will last for 25 minutes of which the last 20 minutes will be used for calculation of energy expenditure.

    3 hours

Secondary Outcomes (10)

  • Satiety

    3 hours

  • Food preferences

  • Glucose

Study Arms (2)

Salmon vs. veal and CHO with low or high GI

EXPERIMENTAL

In the first clinical study (Study 1), subjects will eat salmon or veal combined with high or low GI carbohydrates. Each subject will be engaged in each of the following four 1-day test meals: * Meat balls with salmon served with tomato sauce and other accompaniments with low GI * Meat balls with salmon served with tomato sauce and other accompaniments with high GI * Meat balls with veal served with tomato sauce and other accompaniments with low GI * Meat balls with veal served with tomato sauce and other accompaniments with high GI

Other: Fish and carbohydrats with low or high GIOther: Veal and carbohydrats with low or high GI

Cod vs. veal and CHO with low or high GI

EXPERIMENTAL

In the second clinical study (Study 2), subjects will eat codfish or veal combined with high or low GI carbohydrates. Each subject will be engaged in each of the following four 1-day test meals: * Meat balls with codfish served with tomato sauce and other accompaniments with low GI * Meat balls with codfish served with tomato sauce and other accompaniments with high GI * Meat balls with veal served with tomato sauce and other accompaniments with low GI * Meat balls with veal served with tomato sauce and other accompaniments with high GI

Other: Fish and carbohydrats with low or high GIOther: Veal and carbohydrats with low or high GI

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 50 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

  • Healthy men and women
  • Between 18 and 50 years of age
  • BMI between 25.0 and 30.0 kg×m-2
  • Fasting blood glucose \< 5.9 mmol/L (measured at the screenings visit)
  • Non-smoker

You may not qualify if:

  • Self-reported eating disorders or irregular eating schedule (e.g. skipping breakfast)
  • Chronic diseases (e.g. cancer, asthma, back pain, thyroid disease, heart disease, diabetes, neurological disorders, or sleep disorders)
  • Use currently or within the previous 3 months of prescription medication that has the potential of affecting body weight or glucose metabolism such as glucocorticoids (but excluding inhaled and topical steroids; bronchodilators are allowed), psychoactive medication, epileptic medication, or weight loss medications (either prescription, over the counter or herbal). Low dose antidepressants are allowed if they, in the judgement of the investigator, do not affect weight or participation to the study protocol. Levothyroxine for treatment of hypothyroidism is allowed if the participant has been on a stable dose for at least 3 months.
