NCT06105476

Brief Summary

The aims of this study are two-fold. First to investigate the influence of protein on the FGF21 response induced by alcohol, and second to investigate the influence of retinol on FGF21 concentrations and the FGF21 response induced by alcohol. Exploratory, and in order to investigate mechanisms behind the potential influence on alcohol-induced FGF21 response from protein or retinol intake, plasma glucose, insulin, glucagon, ethanol, acetaldehyde, acetate, retinol, retinoic acid, as well as subjective rating of appetite, will be measured.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Plasma FGF21 response after consumption of alcohol+protein vs alcohol

    Time\*drink interaction and iAUC

    Outcomes are measured at time 0, 30, 60, 120, 180, and 240 minutes after test drinks.

  • Plasma FGF21 response after consumption of alcohol+retinol vs alcohol vs retinol

    Time\*drink interaction and iAUC

    Outcomes are measured at time 0, 30, 60, 120, 180, and 240 minutes after test drinks.

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Plasma glucose, insulin, glucagon, ethanol, acetaldehyde, acetate, retinol, and retinoic acid after consumption of alcohol+protein vs alcohol+retinol vs alcohol vs retinol.

    Outcomes are measured at time 0, 30, 60, 120, 180, and 240 minutes after test drinks.

  • Subjective appetite ratings after consumption of alcohol+protein vs alcohol+retinol vs alcohol vs retinol.

    Outcomes are measured at time 0, 30, 60, 120, 180, and 240 minutes after test drinks.
