简要总结
There are numerous factors known to determine the relative rate of lipid metabolism at rest between and within individuals, including: biological sex, endogenous carbohydrate availability, training status and, in particular, feeding. Recent focus has been placed on the potential of alternative nutrients, nutritional supplements and pharmacological agents to modify substrate selection in favour of greater lipid oxidation (e.g. caffeine, carnitine, green tea) and/or to alter lipid absorption (e.g. caffeine, carnitine, orlistat, green tea preparations).
Polyphenol-rich tea extract can have effects on lipase activity in the pancreas causing reduced fat absorption. The present study is to assess the potential for tea extract alone to be as effective at the liquid product in a western population.
详细描述
Participants will be asked to visit laboratories at the University of Bath on four occasions, with each visit separated by at least 2 days. Each visit will last approximately 5 hours.
Participants will be asked to provide informed consent to participate in the study and to answer a number of questions to confirm that it is safe for them to do so, and to confirm eligibility. Participants will be asked to monitor their diet for 48 h before their first laboratory visit, and then to replicate this diet before subsequent visits. Participants will also be asked abstain from caffeine (i.e tea and coffee), alcohol and strenuous physical activity the day before visiting us (e.g. no exercise that causing sweating or heavy breathing).
Participants will be asked to arrive to the laboratory after having not eaten for at least 5 hours, having drunk one pint of water at least one hour before testing. Upon arrival at the laboratory a person trained and experienced in sampling blood will insert a cannula (a small plastic tube) into a vein on the participants arm. This is to allow for repeated blood sampling every 30-60 minutes during their visit.
Participants will then be provided with one of the four supplements under investigation (i.e. either a placebo or one of the preparations derived from tea) to ingest as fluid along with a standard milkshake that provides participants with 40 g of fat, such that the appearance of this fat in the bloodstream can be measured. Of the 55 participants in this study, additional measurements will be made on a randomly selected sub-group of 15 to directly trace the appearance of fat in their blood samples; if participants have been asked and agreed to this part of the study then some of the fat in their milkshake would be a stable isotope tracer (13C-Tripalmitin). Participants will then rest comfortably, and a 10 ml sample of blood will be drawn from participants every 30 minutes for two hours, and at three hours, after consumption of the high fat drink.
