Other: Glucose Preload and Exercise Intervention
Registration Number
NCT01888991
Lead Sponsor
University of Toronto
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of substrate oxidation, expressed by RER, on food intake regulation and net energy balance.

Detailed Description

The relationship between substrate oxidation as measured by respiratory exchange ratio (RER) and food intake is undefined. This study is examining the effects of three modulators of substrate oxidation (RER), a glucose preload, exercise and age food intake regulation and net energy balance in normal-weight boys (9-12 y) and men (20-30 y).

Subjects (15 boys, 15 men) were measured in random order with treatments of beverages of either water or glucose followed by either moderate exercise or rest for 40 min. Measures included RER via indirect calorimetry, energy expenditure, subjective appetite, food intake measured at an ad libitum pizza meal and net energy balance as the sum of the calories of the glucose preload + calories from the pizza lunch minus energy expended at exercise or rest.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Food Intake60 - 90 min in the study

Energy intake from the ad libitum the pizza meal at 60 min was calculated based on the weight consumed and the compositional information provided by the manufacturer.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Net Energy Balance0-90 min in the study

Will be calculated from the energy consumed by the glucose preload and the pizza meal minus energy expended at the exercise.
