NCT03036592

Brief Summary

The purpose of this investigation is to assess the role of melatonin receptor 1B (MTNR1B) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)\*food timing interaction on glucose control in the deleterious effect in a vulnerable population with regular exposure to concurrent high melatonin and food intake as late night eaters (those having dinner within 2.5 h before their usual bed time). With the results from this study, we expect to advance our understanding of the role of endogenous melatonin on glucose metabolism in late night eaters and carriers of the MTNR1B risk allele, with potential implications on the guidelines to mitigate risk of type 2 diabetes in late night eaters and carriers of the MTNR1B risk allele.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Area Under the Curve (AUC) Glucose

    Glucose levels are measured along 120 minutes corresponding to at early and late condition in each visit. The Area Under the Curve was calculated as the sum of the area of several trapezoids. This trapezoids was obtained at times 0-30 min, 30-60 min, 60-90 min, 90-120 min. The values are the difference between the late and the early condition.

    Along 120 minutes in visits 1 and 2

  • Disposition Index (DI)

    Disposition Index (DI) is the product of insulin sensitivity times by the amount of insulin secreted in response to blood glucose levels. Disposition index is used as a measure of beta cell function and the ability of the body to dispose of a glucose load. This index was determined by this formula: DI= CIR × ISI, where CIR is the measure Corrected Insulin Response, and ISI is Insulin Sensitivity Index. The values are the difference between the late and the early condition. Higher DI indicates an increased beta cell function and increased ability of the body to dispose of a glucose load.

    Along 120 minutes in visits 1 and 2

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • Corrected Insulin Response (CIR)

    At minute 30 during the visit 1 and 2.

  • Insulin Sensitivity Index (ISI)

    Along 120min in visits 1 and 2

  • Fasting Glucose

    At minute 0 in visit 1 and 2.

  • Fasting Insulin

    At minute 0 in visit 1 and 2

  • Serum Melatonin

    At baseline and 120 minutes in visit 1 and 2

  • +1 more secondary outcomes

Other Outcomes (13)

  • Temperature Record (Mean Value 10hours Daytime)

    For 1 week between visit 1 and 2

  • Activity Record (Mean Value 10hours Daytime)

    For 1 week between visit 1 and 2

  • Light Exposure (Mean Value 10hours Daytime)

    For 1 week between the visits 1 and 2

  • +10 more other outcomes

Limitations and Caveats

* Typically, the Participant Flow list Arms/Groups "per sequence" (i.e., "MTNR1B CC Early OGTT first, then Late OGTT", MTNR1B CC Late OGTT first, then Early OGTT", etc.). However, as shown (Diabetes Care, PUBMED: 35015083), the study was conducted to compare the conditions of "early" and "late", within each genotyping-group without considering the order. * The individual's genotypes were not known until the end of the study, then we could not assign the groups until we finished the study.
