Brief summary

The purpose of the present study is to explore the influence of cooking methods of potatoes on post-prandial glycaemia and satiety in healthy older adults.

Detailed description

Each of the 5 study sessions will be at least 7 days apart. Either meal skipping, or one of three treatments of white potatoes (a) baked (with skin), (b) mashed, (c) fried French fries, or white bread, prepared on the day of testing, will be served to healthy older adults (65+ years). Participants will consume the equivalent to 1 medium sized potato (\ 280 kcal) or an equivalent amount of calories from white bread. Glycemic response, insulin, incretin hormones (glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP)), dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4), and cholecystokinin (CCK) will be measured for 2 h (0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 min) following meal consumption, as well as mood and subjective appetite. An ad libitum test meal will be provided at 120 min to assess food intake suppression.

Interventions

OTHERWhite bread

Toasted, with canola oil added to match for fat content of French fries (13.9 grams), as well as being matched for energy (280 kilocalories) and available carbohydrate content (33 grams) of potato treatments.

Baked russet potato with canola oil added once baked to match for fat content of French fries, and also matched for the salt content of white bread (280 milligrams).

Mashed potatoes prepared from frozen, with canola oil added to match for fat content of French fries, as well as being matched for energy and available carbohydrate content of the baked potato.

Prepared from frozen, matched for energy and available carbohydrate content of baked potato and salt content of white bread.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Ad libitum food intake (lunch, at 120 minutes)120 minutes after meal consumptionFood intake will be determined by weighing the meal before and after serving. The net weight of the test meal will be converted to calories
Change from baseline glycemic responsebaseline and then 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 minutes after meal consumptionBlood glucose (mmol/L). Blood glucose will be measured in whole blood using YSI 2300 STAT PLUS (YSI Incorporated, Yellow Springs, OH)
Change from baseline insulinbaseline and then 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 minutes after meal consumptionBlood insulin (pmol/L). Insulin concentration in serum will be determined in duplicate via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits (ELISA; Millipore, Billerica, Massachusetts).

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change from baseline dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4)baseline and then 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 minutes after meal consumptionBlood DPP4 (ng/mL). DPP4 concentration in serum will be determined in duplicate via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits (ELISA; Millipore, Billerica, Massachusetts)
Change from baseline subjective appetitebaseline and then 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 minutes after meal consumptionMeasured using visual analogue scale (mm). Each VAS is a 100 mm line where they will place a pencil mark to describe their feelings.
Change from baseline glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)baseline and then 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 minutes after meal consumptionBlood GLP-1 (pmol/L). GLP-1 concentration in serum will be determined in duplicate via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits (ELISA; Millipore, Billerica, Massachusetts)
Change from baseline glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP)baseline and then 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 minutes after meal consumptionBlood GIP (pmol/L). GIP concentration in serum will be determined in duplicate via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits (ELISA; Millipore, Billerica, Massachusetts)
Change from baseline moodbaseline and then 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 minutes after meal consumptionMeasured using visual analogue scale (mm). Each VAS is a 100 mm line where they will place a pencil mark to describe their feelings.
Change from baseline cholecystokinin (CCK)baseline and then 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 minutes after meal consumptionBlood CCK (pmol/L). CCK concentration in serum will be determined in duplicate via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits (ELISA; Millipore, Billerica, Massachusetts)
