About this trial

This is an interventional basic science trial for Cardiovascular Risk Factor

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 50 Years (Adult)All SexesAccepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

• Age: 18-50 years and premenopausal (for women)

Exclusion criteria:

  • Weight instability (>5 kg change in body mass within last 6 months)
  • Diagnosis of any form of diabetes
  • Intolerances or allergies to any of the study procedures (e.g. lactose intolerance)
  • Galactose disorders (e.g. galactokinase deficiency, UDPgalactose-4-epimerase deficiency, galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase deficiency)
  • Fructose malabsorption
  • Inborn errors of fructose metabolism (e.g. fructokinase deficiency, aldolase B deficiency, fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase deficiency)
  • Pregnant or lactating
  • Any condition that could introduce bias to the study (e.g. diagnoses of lipid disorders, including cardiovascular disease, or therapies that alter lipid or glucose metabolism, such as statins or niacin).

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This study aims to determine to what extent ingestion of free sugars influence postprandial triglyceridaemia in men and women.
Detailed Description
Each participant will undergo three experimental trials in a randomized, crossover research design. On each study day, participants will consume a test drink containing standardised amounts of carbohydrate and fat followed by collection of blood and breath samples to assess metabolic responses during the 6 hour postprandial period. Trials will be identical except for the type of carbohydrate contained within the test drink: 1) maltodextrin (glucose polymer), 2) lactose (galactose-glucose disaccharide) and 3) sucrose (fructose-glucose disaccharide).
