NCT03265392

Brief Summary

The results of our in vitro studies strengthen the hypothesis that the contribution of salivary alpha-amylase to starch digestion has been underrated and that this enzyme can play an important role in this process. As a result, its inhibition could constitute an opportunity to reduce the glycemic response elicited by starch-rich foods. The main goal of this study is to verify whether inhibiting salivary alpha-amylase upon the consumption of starchy foods, can have an impact on the postprandial glycemic response, and/or satiety.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Energy intake (Main outcome of Part 1)

    3 hours

  • Gastric emptying (Main outcome of Part 2)

    Gastric empting kinetics of each test-meal, evaluated by MRI, during part 2

    3 hours

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Glycemic Response (Secondary outcome of Parts 1 and 2)

    At baseline and and at different time-points during 3 hours after after consuming the test meal

  • Subjective appetite sensations (Secondary outcome of Part 2)

    At baseline and at different time-points during 3 hours after consuming the test meal

Other Outcomes (3)

  • End of the day questionnaire

    12-16 hours after the test meal (Part 1 and 2)

  • Gastric contractions

    At baseline and during 3 hours after after consuming the test meal (Part 2 only)

  • Amylolytic activity of saliva

    At baseline (Part 1)
