NCT05154461

Brief Summary

The ketone body (KB) ß-hydroxybutyrate will be given to eight fasting healthy volunteers of both sexes in order to observe the effects after an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) over 2 h. Then, a standard lunch will be served at 12.00, as well as an afternoon snack at 15.00. Each participant will be its own control and participates in a randomised two-way cross over design; the KB are released in the stomach-duodenum, or in the ileum-colon. Peripheral blood samples are taken for endpoint GLP-1 analyses.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Area under curve (AUC) of plasma GLP-1 over 120 minutes.

    BHB is given in the upper GI tract (alginate encapsulation) or at the distal GI tract (pea-protein encapsulated). AUC of the plasma GLP-1 concentration (pmol x min) stimulated by an OGTT (75 g glucose per-os given).

    120 minutes (AUC)

Study Arms (1)

GLP-1 in relation to the 2 major BHB release sites

EXPERIMENTAL

The magnitude of plasma GLP-1 following an OGTT (75g glucose per os) when beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) is released either at an upper gastrointestinal site (alginate encapsulation), or at distal gastrointestinal site (pea-protein encapsulation). BHB is given per-os in a single dose of 18g, plus 2 g encapsulation material; totally 20 g.

Other: AlginateOther: Pea-protein

Interventions

BHB covered in alginate will be realised in stomach-duodenum

GLP-1 in relation to the 2 major BHB release sites

BHB covered in pea-protein will be released in ileum-colon
