NCT05149092

Brief Summary

In this randomized, placebo controlled, double blind trial, effects of relatively high doses of chicken protein hydrolysate (CPH) or casein hydrolysate (placebo) supplementation will be investigate in healthy persons with abdominal obesity. The 12-week study examines potential effects on body weight, abdominal obesity, body composition, plasma parameters of metabolic health including lipids, inflammatory parameters, redox state and microbiota biomarkers.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Changes from baseline in waist circumference in the CPH group as compared to placebo/casein at week 12

    Waist circumference will be measured using anthropometric tape over light clothing. For waist circumference, the minimum circumference between the iliac crest and the rib cage will be used.

    At baseline visit and end visit (week 12)

Secondary Outcomes (24)

  • Changes from baseline in glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1, hormone involved in appetite and metabolism regulation) in the CPH group as compared to placebo/casein

    At baseline visit and end visit (week 12)

  • Changes from baseline in gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP, hormone involved in metabolism regulation) in the CPH group as compared to placebo/casein

    At baseline visit and end visit (week 12)

  • Changes from baseline in ghrelin (hormone involved in appetite regulation) in the CPH group as compared to placebo/casein

    At baseline visit and end visit (week 12)

  • Changes from baseline in heart rate in the CPH group as compared to placebo/casein

    At baseline visit and end visit (week 12)

  • Changes from baseline in blood pressure in the CPH group as compared to placebo/casein

    At baseline visit and end visit (week 12)

  • +19 more secondary outcomes

Eligibility Criteria

Age20 Years - 80 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Female and male subjects at least 20 years old understanding Norwegian oral and written information
  • Waist circumference of:
  • Men \> 95 cm
  • Women \> 81 cm

You may not qualify if:

  • Pregnancy
  • Having used high-dose omega-3 PUFA supplements (\>2 g/day) 28 days' prior to randomization
  • Alcohol or drug abuse or any conditions associated with poor compliance
  • Scheduled hospitalization during the course of the study that could compromise the study
  • Major diseases or infections including chronic diseases
  • Known or suspected sensitivity or allergic reactions to the IMP or excipients
  • Presence of other major medical or psychiatric illness that would affect the ability to participate in the study or put the subject at increased risk
  • Intake of statins. If needed to obtain the recruitment goals, we will accept people using a low dose of statin. Simvastatin 10 mg or Pravastatin 10-20 mg will be accepted, but not higher doses or the drugs Lipitor/Atorvastatin and Crestor/Rosuvastatin.
