Other: Small Bowel and Colonic Permeability Test
Registration Number
NCT04262310
Lead Sponsor
Mayo Clinic
Brief Summary

To develop a test to measure small bowel and colonic permeability.

Detailed Description

The study consists of a physical examination, standardized meals and 3 oral sugar tests with 24 hour urine collections. It requires the participants to visit the Clinical Research Trials Unit in the Charlton Building and Domitilla Building. Remuneration will be offered.

GroupInterventionDescription
Study AimsSmall Bowel and Colonic Permeability TestTo obtain normative data (median, 10th and 90th percentile) as well as inter-individual coefficient of variation (COV, assessed by \[SD/mean\]) with approximately 15 participants in each age group: 18-30, 31-45, 46-60, and 60-70 years old. To assess intra-individual COV \[assessed by \[SD/mean\]. To assess effect of standard diets containing 16.25 or 32.5 g fiber/day during the two 24 hour periods before and during the measurement of permeability
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Standard Method to Measure Intestinal Permeability18 months

Normal data on intestinal permeability in a Healthy human cohort:

To summarize, using descriptive statistics, the median, 95% confidence interval, interquartile range of the following:

* Urine excretion of probe molecules at 0-2h (reflecting small bowel permeability) with primary interest in 13C-mannitol and rhamnose

* Urine excretion of probe molecules at 8-24h (reflecting colonic permeability) with primary interest in lactulose and sucralose

* Urine excretion of probe molecules at 2-8h reflecting both small intestinal and colonic permeability As part of the effort to ascertain conditions under which the test would be performed in the future, we shall test the intra-individual coefficient of variation in healthy individuals, when the test is performed twice under conditions of identical diet, and when the test is performed with diets that have standardized but different quantities of fiber
