NCT04050930

Brief Summary

The objective of the study is to analyze the specific role of physical properties of food and mastication in the cephalic phase reflex of thermogenesis, and the involvement of the autonomic nervous system in the implementation of this reflex. The hypothesis of the study is that oral stimulation elicited by food properties during mastication can generate changes in the amplitude of variation of thermogenesis, and that these changes are distinct from those attributable to the thermal effect of food during digestion.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Measure of energy expenditure by Indirect calorimetry

    effect of mastication without swallowing on energy expenditure (kcal/24h) in normal weight and obese people. This will be measured by indirect calorimetry (Under Canopy of the system Fitmate)

    1 hour 30 minutes

  • Measure of cardiac activity

    effect of mastication without swallowing on cardiac activity (R-R interval) in normal weight and obese people measured by electrocardiogram

    1 hour 30 minutes

  • Measure of masticatory muscle activity

    effect of mastication without swallowing on masticatory muscle activity (microvolt.s in normal weight and obese people measured by electromyography

    1 hour 30 minutes

  • Estimate of the hormonal response

    effect of mastication without swallowing on hormonal response in normal weight and obese people. This will be estimate by their concentration and their kinetic of appearance in the blood compartment, and by comparisons of concentration values with basal level, also expressed in "area under the curve" values.

    1 hour 30 minutes

Secondary Outcomes (8)

  • effect of sensory information from oral cavity on energy expenditure by Indirect calorimetry

    1 hour 30 minutes

  • effect of sensory information from oral cavity on cardiac activity

    1 hour 30 minutes

  • effect of sensory information from oral cavity on hormonal response

    1 hour 30 minutes

  • effect of sensory information from oral cavity on masticatory muscle activity

    1 hour 30 minutes

  • cardiac activity while sleeping measured by electrocardiogram

    8-10 hours (night)

  • +3 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Normal weight, normo-dented

EXPERIMENTAL

healthy young male presenting a good oral health ad a normal weight

Other: Mastication

Obese, normo-dented

EXPERIMENTAL

healthy young male presenting a first level of obesity, and a good oral health

Other: Mastication

Interventions

Simultaneous recordings of postprandial thermogenesis (gas exchange), cardiac activity (ECG), masticatory muscle contraction (EMG), and blood collection, during alternating periods of no-mastication or mastication of natural foods or chewing gums of different hardness

Normal weight, normo-dentedObese, normo-dented
