Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Experimental

Active Comparator

Arm Label

Melt (test oil)

Corn oil (control)

Arm Description

Participants will consume a muffin containing 20 g of dietary fat provided by the test oil and their energy expenditure will be measure post-prandially for 6 hours. At the end of the measurement period, participants will consume a cookie containing 10 g of fat provided by the test oil and their food intake at an ad libitum meal will be measured 1 hour later.

Participants will consume a muffin containing 20 g of dietary fat provided by the control oil and their energy expenditure will be measure post-prandially for 6 hours. At the end of the measurement period, participants will consume a cookie containing 10 g of fat provided by the control oil and their food intake at an ad libitum meal will be measured 1 hour later.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Thermic effect of food
Measurement of thermic effect of food over 6 hours after a meal rich in test oil and control oil. The thermic effect of food is the difference between post-prandial energy expenditure and basal energy expenditure. We will assess the difference in thermic effect of food over a 6-hour period between the test oil and the control oil.
Respiratory quotient/fat oxidation
Measurement of substrate oxidation by indirect calorimetry over 6 hours after consumption of the test oil and control oil. We will specifically calculate carbohydrate and fat oxidation rates over the 6-hour period post-prandially and compare rates of oxidation of these two substrates between the test oil and the control oil.
Food intake
Measurement of food intake at a single meal served 1 hour after a pre-load containing 8-10 g of the test oil and the control oil

Secondary Outcome Measures

Glucose
Measurement of glucose over 6 hours after consumption of the test oil and control oil
Feelings of appetite and satiety
Measurement of feelings of appetite and satiety by visual analog scales over 6 hours after consumption of the test oil and control oil
Insulin
Measurement of insulin over 6 hours after consumption of the test oil and control oil
Leptin
Measurement of leptin over 6 hours after consumption of the test oil and control oil
Ghrelin
Measurement of ghrelin over 6 hours after consumption of the test oil and control oil
Peptide YY
Measurement of peptide YY over 6 hours after consumption of the test oil and control oil
Glucagon like peptide 1
Measurement of glucagon like peptide 1 over 6 hours after consumption of the test oil and control oil
