Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary outcomes is: differences in gastric emptying rates. Gastric emptying will be measured with a non-invasive breath test. Subjects will come to the study centre and will receive the gastric load which is labelled with a stable isotope: i.e. 13C. Breath samples will be collected at ten different moments: 2 before the treatment and 8 times after the treatment. In the breath samples the concentration of 13C (as part of 13CO2) will be determined as a measure for gastric emptying. The collected breath samples will be analysed for 13-C isotopic enrichment of the expired CO2 using Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry. The differences between the treatments in recovery of the isotope will be the outcome measures for gastric emptying. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The secondary outcome is: Subjective feelings of satiety: To measure subjective feelings of satiety, subjects will be asked multiple times to rate their feelings of satiety on a questionnaire. This *Appetite questionnaire* will consist of seven dimensions, i.e. hunger, fullness, prospective consumption, desire to eat, desire to eat something sweet, desire to eat something savoury, and thirst. The rating will be done by means of a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), where subjects have to mark a spot on a 100 mm horizontal line. This will be done at nine different moments during each test session. Lines will be anchored by *not at all ** on the left side and *extremely ** on the right side. | — |
