NCT03922685

Brief Summary

Specific aims of the study are:

  1. 1.to evaluate whether a 24-h exposure to a 25%-carbohydrate diet will reduce postprandial glycemia to the same extent in the evening (19 h) as in the morning (7 h),. and
  2. 2.to determine whether one hour of post-meal moderate intensity exercise (at 50% of maximal effort) will further reduce postprandial glycemia.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Postprandial glucose concentration

    The area under the postprandial glucose curve

    Four hours: 19:20 to 23:20 in the evening trials; 7:20 to 11:20 in the morning trials

  • Postprandial insulin concentration

    The area under the postprandial insulin curve

    Four hours: 19:20 to 23:20 in the evening trials; 7:20 to 11:20 in the morning trials

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Postprandial glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP) concentration

    Four hours: 19:20 to 23:20 in the evening trials; 7:20 to 11:20 in the morning trials

  • Postprandial beta-hydroxybutyrate concentration

    Four hours: 19:20 to 23:20 in the evening trials; 7:20 to 11:20 in the morning trials

  • Postprandial leptin concentration

    Four hours: 19:20 to 23:20 in the evening trials; 7:20 to 11:20 in the morning trials

Study Arms (4)

Morning sedentary arm

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

After arriving at MCRU at 7 h, and having eaten three 25%-carbohydrate meals over the previous 24 h, subjects had an antecubital-vein catheter inserted and consumed their fourth 25%-carbohydrate meal at 7:20 h. Over the next 4 hours, subjects reclined on a bed and had 3-ml blood samples collected at 10-min intervals. After the 11:20 blood sample, subjects were released from MCRU. This arm is compared to the other three arms.

Combination Product: Dietary manipulation (25% carbohydrate diet) and behavioral (sedentary)

Morning exercise arm

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

After arriving at MCRU at 7 h, and having eaten three 25%-carbohydrate meals over the previous 24 h, subjects had an antecubital-vein catheter inserted and consumed their fourth 25%-carbohydrate meal at 7:20 h. At 8 h, subjects walked on the treadmill at 50% maximal effort. Between 7:20 and 11:20, 3-ml blood samples were collected at 10-min intervals.After the 11:20 blood sample, subjects were released from MCRU. This arm is compared to the other three arms.

Evening sedentary arm

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

After arriving at MCRU at 19 h, and having eaten three 25%-carbohydrate meals over the previous 24 h, subjects had an antecubital-vein catheter inserted and consumed their fourth 25%-carbohydrate meal at 19:20 h. Over the next 4 hours, subjects reclined on a bed and had 3-ml blood samples collected at 10-min intervals. After the 23:20 blood sample, subjects were released from MCRU.

Interventions

The 25% carbohydrate diet consisted of Pulmocare-vanilla liquid, white roll, butter, and string cheese in proportions to achieve 33% of weigh-maintenance diet containing 25% carbohydrate, 20% protein, and 55% fat. Exercise was walking 1 hour on level treadmill at 50% of maximal effort starting 40 minutes after the beginning of the meal
