Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Healthy Volunteers
Interventions
Dietary Supplement: Marine protein hydrolysate (mph)
Dietary Supplement: Control
Registration Number
NCT03669796
Lead Sponsor
Helse Møre og Romsdal HF
Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate the potential effect of a marine protein hydrolysate (MPH) supplement before a meal on postprandial glucose tolerance in healthy subjects, to achieve more knowledge on this presumed beneficial, blood glucose lowering effect

Detailed Description

To further investigate the effects of MPH in a single dose of 20 mg/kg of body weight on postprandial blood glucose, insulin and GLP-1 (as markers of glucose metabolism) in healthy, active middle-aged to elderly subjects - age 40-65 years.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
GlucoseFirst sample fasting baseline, thereafter repeated samples every 20 minutes (i.e.20, 40, 60, 80, 100,120,140 minutes after baseline), last at 200 minutes after baseline.

Postprandial glucose (mmol/L) change on each day of intervention

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
InsulinFirst sample fasting baseline, thereafter repeated samples every 20 minutes (i.e.20, 40, 60, 80, 100,120,140 minutes after baseline), last at 200 minutes after baseline

Postprandial Insulin (mIE/L) - change on each day of intervention

Hormon 1First sample fasting baseline, thereafter repeated samples (i.e.20, 40, 60, 100 minutes after baseline), last at 200 minutes after baseline

Glucagon like peptide 1 (GLP-1) pmol/l change on each day of intervention

Visual analogue scale (VAS)First (baseline) symptomscore (as described above) measured fasting , thereafter repeated symptom score i.e. at 20, 40 minutes after baseline, last symptom score measure at 200 minutes after baseline

Assessed by questionnaire VAS, scale from 0-10, where 0 is minimum score and 10 is the maximum score, reported e.g. as a total score of 7. The higher the reported value is the worse outcome.

KANE, symptom scoreFirst (baseline) symptom score (as described above) measured fasting and the next measure at 200 minutes after baseline

Assessed by questionaire KANE (family name) , scale from 0-10, where 0 is minimum score and 10 is the maximum score, reported e.g. as a total score of 7. The higher the reported value is the worse outcome.
