Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Analysis of the metabolite profile in plasma and urine by LC-MS/MS, GCxGC-MS, and NMR before, and 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, 24, and 48h after a single ingestion of the test meal in comparison to the control meal (formula diet = reference meal)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Anthropometric examinations (height, weight, hip and waist circumference) using standard methods. Continuous monitoring of interstitial glucose concentrations by a flash-glucose monitoring system (Freesyle LIBRE, Abbott Diabetes Care). Composition of gut microbiota and their genetic potential by 16S and shotgun sequencing.
