简要总结

The goal of this double-blinded randomized clinical cross-over trial is to investigate the metabolic and appetite regulating effects of oral tributyrin (a butyrate pro-drug) administration vs placebo.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Does tributyrin have glucose lowering properties in humans?
  • Does tributyrin reduce appetite in humans?

A sample size calculation estimated a minimum of 10 participants. We expect to include 12 participants in this study. Tributyrin or placebo is ingested once or twice daily for 2x2 weeks, separated by a washout period of minimum 2 weeks. On trial day following each 2-week period we assess:

  • Postprandial blood sugar levels
  • Hunger sensations (questionnaire)
  • Enteroendocrine hormone secretion (GLP-1, GIP, PYY, LEAP2, ghrelin)
  • Cardiac function (echocardiography) - An exploratory study evaluating the hemodynamic effects assessed by echocardiography is anticipated to be published separately.
  • Caloric intake (ad libitum meal test)
  • Gastric emptying rate (acetaminophen test)
  • Resting metabolic rate (indirect calorimetry).

While at home, subjects will wear a sleep monitoring device for three consecutive nights and deliver fecal samples for analysis of short-chain fatty acid content and microbiota composition.
