High Fiber Rye Foods for Weight and Body Fat Reduction

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Obesity; Overweight
• Interventions: Other: Refined wheat; Other: Wholegrain rye

• Registration Number: NCT03097237
• Lead Sponsor: Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences

Brief Summary

The overall aim of this study is to investigate whether a diet rich in rye fiber from wholegrain rye, compared to refined wheat, as part of a hypocaloric diet leads to larger weight loss and lower body fat content after 12 weeks of intervention. Furthermore the study will investigate the effect on appetite as a potential underlying mechanism for differences in weight loss and body fat reduction.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Refined wheat	Refined wheat	Refined wheat products with a low content of dietary fiber
Wholegrain rye	Wholegrain rye	Wholegrain rye products with a high content of dietary fiber

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Difference in body fat mass	12 weeks
Difference in body weight	12 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Appetite measured by visual analogue scale (VAS) questionnaire	12 weeks	Investigate if satiety differs between groups after 12 weeks of intervention and investigate if appetite correlates with changes in body weight. Measurements will be conducted through visual analogue scale (VAS) questionnaire, where participants log into a homepage and respond to their perceived satiety, hunger and desire to eat every 30-60 min during a day at base line, after 6w and 12wk.
Fecal energy excretion by bomb calorimetry of 72h quantitative fecal collections.	12 weeks	Investigate differences in fecal energy excretion between the two intervention groups in a subgroup of 50 subjects. Every subject will be instructed to collect all feces in a special devise during 48h.
Gut microbiota	6 and 12 weeks
Marker of glucose metabolism	6 and 12 weeks	Investigate differences in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)
Appetite regulation	6 and 12 weeks	Investigate differences in glucagon-like peptide 1(GLP-1)
Difference in body weight and body fat mass	6 weeks	Investigate if differences in body weight and body fat mass is evident already after 6 weeks
Marker of Insulin resistance	6 and 12 weeks	Investigate differences in homeostatic model assessment insulin resistance (HOMA-IR)
Marker of inflammation	6 and 12 weeks	Investigate differences in C-reactive protein (CRP).
Appetite	6 and 12 weeks	Investigate differences in leptin concentration
Blood lipids	6 and 12 weeks	Investigate differences in triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein(HDL) and low density lipoprotein (LDL).
