NCT03525717

Brief Summary

This study examines the impact of routine dinner time versus late dinner time on nocturnal metabolism. Specifically, investigators will examine plasma profiles of free fatty acids, glucose, insulin, triglycerides, and oxidation of dietary fat.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

  • Free Fatty Acids (FFA, mmol/L)

    Serial blood samples taken during visit, 20 time points per visit, 2 nights

    2 visits, 4 weeks apart, each visit with 20 time points to assess change over time

  • Glucose (mg/dl)

    Serial blood samples taken during visit, 20 time points per visit, 2 nights

    2 visits, 4 weeks apart, each visit with 20 time points to assess change over time

  • Insulin (mcU/ml)

    Serial blood samples taken during visit, 20 time points per visit, 2 nights

    2 visits, 4 weeks apart, each visit with 20 time points to assess change over time

  • Triglycerides (mg/dl)

    Serial blood samples taken during visit, 20 time points per visit, 2 nights

    2 visits, 4 weeks apart, each visit with 20 time points to assess change over time

  • Oxidation of palmitate (mass spectroscopy)

    Serial blood samples taken during visit, 20 time points per visit, 2 nights

    2 visits, 4 weeks apart, each visit with 20 time points to assess change over time

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Polysomnography

    1 sleep study per visit, 4 weeks apart

Study Arms (2)

Routine Dinner

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Participants will be served dinner and a stable isotope of palmitate to measure fat oxidation, at "routine" dinner time (18:00) followed by a sleep study (23:00). Timing of dinner is the sole intervention distinguishing this arm from late dinner. This arm will cross-over to late dinner in random order.

Dietary Supplement: Routine DinnerDietary Supplement: Late dinner

Late Dinner

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will be served dinner and a stable isotope of palmitate to measure fat oxidation, at a "late" dinner time (22:00) followed by a sleep study (23:00). Timing of dinner is the sole intervention distinguishing this arm from routine dinner. This arm will cross-over to routine dinner in random order.

Interventions

Routine DinnerDIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Participants will be served dinner at a routine time (18:00), along with with a stable isotope of palmitate to measure fat oxidation overnight.

Late DinnerRoutine Dinner
Late dinnerDIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Participants will be served dinner at a late time (22:00), along with with a stable isotope of palmitate to measure fat oxidation overnight.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 30 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

  • Healthy male and female adult volunteers, age 18-30.
  • Accustomed to a bedtime between 10:00 PM and 1:00 AM.

You may not qualify if:

  • Sleep disorder including insomnia, sleep apnea, circadian rhythm disorder, restless leg syndrome, narcolepsy, shift work sleep disorder
  • Gastroesophageal reflux disease that affects ability to tolerate a dinner close to bed time.
  • Chronic use of sedative hypnotics, anxiolytics, opiates
  • Use of medications that can affect circadian rhythm (beta blockers, melatonin)
  • Active smoking (may interfere with metabolism and CRU activities)
  • Diabetes (type 1 or 2)
  • Obesity (BMI≥30)
  • Pregnant or lactating female (pregnancy test will be required)
  • Professional or collegiate athlete
