NCT04024605

Brief Summary

The study aims to determine in healthy subjects the bioavailability of protein and amino acids of 4 protein sources: sunflower, rapeseed, lupin, flax. For this purpose, the investigators will compare two methods:

  1. 1.the standard method consisting in measuring the ileal digestibility using ileal tubes
  2. 2.an alternative method that has been proposed by an Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) expert group: the dual isotope method

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (6)

  • Percentage of ileal digestibility of plant proteins

    Total N and 15N will be measured by Elemental Analyzer coupled to an Isotopic Ratio Mass Spectrometer (EA-IRMS) and the percentage of dietary N reaching the terminal ileum will be then determined. This percentage will be corrected by the ileal flow rate which is estimated with measurement of PEG concentration in effluents by a turbidimetric methods. Ileal digestibility of plant proteins (i.e. N digestibility) will be calculated as 100 - corrected dietary N percentage.

    time -30 minutes to 8 hours after the meal

  • Percentage of ileal digestibility of amino acids from plant proteins

    Amino acid concentrations will be measured by Ultra high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) and 15N, 2H and 13C enrichment in individual amino acids will be measured by Gas Chromatography-Combustion-Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry (GC-C-IRMS) in order to determine the percentage of dietary individual amino acids reaching the terminal ileum. This percentage will be corrected by the ileal flow rate which is estimated with measurement of PEG concentration in effluents by a turbidimetric methods. Ileal digestibility of plant amino acid will be calculated as 100 - corrected dietary amino acid percentage.

    time -30 minutes to 8 hours after the meal

  • Percentage of net postprandial protein utilization of plant proteins

    Urea in plasma and urine (by enzymatic methods) will be determined and associated with 15N enrichment values (by EA IRMS) to determine the 15N transfer in plasma and urinary N pools and calculate the net postprandial protein utilization.

    time -30 minutes to 8 hours after the meal

  • Postprandial plasma kinetics of dietary amino acids

    Amino acids in plasma will be determined by UHPLC and associated with 15N enrichment values in individual amino acids (by GC C IRMS) to determined the kinetics of amino acids from plant proteins.

    time -30 minutes to 8 hours after the meal

  • Postprandial metabolism of glucose 1

    Glycemia (by enzymatic methods) will be determined in plasma.

    time -30 minutes to 8 hours after the meal

  • Postprandial metabolism of glucose 2

    Insulinemia (by ELISA) will be determined in plasma.

    time -30 minutes to 8 hours after the meal

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Validation of the dual isotope method to assess the bioavailability of individual amino acids

    time -30 minutes to 8 hours after the meal
