Appetite, Energy Intake, Gastric Emptying, Glucose Response, Insulin Response, Satiety
Conditions
Brief summary
During this project the effect of yeast bread and sourdough breads consumption on satiety, energy intake at subsequent meal and postprandial metabolic responses, will be investigated.
Detailed description
The primary aim of this study will be to evaluate the impact of an alternative starter culture that produces high levels of lactic acid on appetite regulation (subjective satiety and energy intake at the subsequent meal). The second aim will be to identify mechanistic parameters that may explain the observed effects, including glycaemic and insulin response, and gastric emptying rate. In addition, habitual physical activity levels, and mood and stress levels of the subjects will be evaluated as potential covariates of appetite regulation. It is hypothesized that: Sourdough breads fermented with the alternative starter culture that produce high concentrations of lactic acid will reduce glucose response via lower starch digestibility and/or slower gastric emptying rate. The reduced glycaemic response will lead to higher satiety and lower energy intake at the subsequent meal (more than 10%).
Interventions
DIETARY_SUPPLEMENTDietary Intervention with Wholemeal Bread with Yeast
Single administration of 150g wholemeal long-time processed bread with baker's yeast, with no lactic acid (control).
DIETARY_SUPPLEMENTDietary Intervention with Wholemeal Sourdough Bread
Single administration of 150g wholemeal long-time processed sourdough bread (with alternative lactic acid bacteria and yeast) high in lactic acid concentration.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Appetite measurements | During test day 1 (up to 4 hours) | Appetite in response to test meal, will be measured using 100 millimeter (mm) Visual Analogue Scales (VAS), with 0 being the minimum value (not at all) and 100 being the maximum value (extremely). Measurements will be taken: before eating (i.e. 0 minute) and at respective time points after completion of test meal (I.e. 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 105, 120, 135, 150, 165, 180, 195, 210, 225, 240 minutes). |
| Food intake at subsequent meal | During test day 1 (240 minutes after ingestion of breakfast) | Weighted amounts of ad-libitum food offered minus the weighted leftovers |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Gastric emptying rate | During test day 1 (up to 4 hours) | Gastric emptying rate will be measured through 13C-octanoic acid breath samples collected before eating (i.e. 0 minute) and at respective time points after completion of test meal (I.e. 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 105, 120, 135, 150, 165, 180, 195, 210, 225, 240 minutes). |
| Subjective stress ratings | During test day 1 (up to 4 hours) | Subjective stress, will be measured using 100 millimeter (mm) Visual Analogue Scales (VAS), with with 0 being the minimum value (not at all) and 100 being the maximum value (extremely). Measurements will be takem: before eating (i.e. -15 minute) and at respective time points after completion of test meal (I.e. 0, 60, 120, 180, 240 minutes). |
| Physical activity questionnaire | At the end of test day 1 | Questionnaire about habitual physical activity over the past 1 week. Subjects will have to report how many days per week and for how many minus they perform vigorous, moderate or relaxed physical activity. |
| Glucose response | During test day 1 (up to 4 hours) | Blood glucose response will be measured through blood samples collected via placed catheter before eating and at respective time points after completion of test meal (I.e. 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 105, 120, 150, 180, 210, 240 minutes) |
| Mood related questionnaires - Perceived Stress Scale - 10 items (PSS-10) | At the end of test day 1 | Mood related questionnaires over the past 1 week. Subjects will have to evaluate how ofter have felt certain feelings over the past week. Score will vary between 0 (Never) to 4 (Very often). |
| Mood related questionnaires - Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scales - 21 items (DASS-21) | At the end of test day 1 | Mood related questionnaires over the past 1 week. Subjects will have to evaluate es how much the statement applied to them over the last week. Score will vary between 0 (Did not apply to me at all) to 3 (Applied to me very much or most of the time). |
| Mood related questionnaires - The Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS scale) | At the end of test day 1 | Mood related questionnaires over the past 1 week. Subjects will have to evaluate the extent they have felt certain feelings over the past week. Score will vary between 1 (Very slightly or not at all) to 5 (Extremely). |
| Insulin response | During test day 1 (up to 4 hours) | Blood C-peptide (as indicator of insulin response) will be measured through blood samples collected via placed catheter before eating and at respective time points after completion of test meal (I.e. 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 105, 120, 150, 180, 210, 240 minutes) |
