Trial Outcomes & Findings for Fat Perception in Humans (09-0873) (NCT NCT01128400)

NCT ID: NCT01128400

Last Updated: 2018-07-17

Results Overview

We will measure oleic acid detection levels as a marker of subjects' ability to detect free fatty acids. Oleic acid taste detection thresholds were separately assessed using a three-alternative forced-choice (i.e. 3-AFC) ascending concentration.

Recruitment status

COMPLETED

Target enrollment

40 participants

Primary outcome timeframe

Ranges from 5 days after screening to several weeks, pending availablity of participant.

Participant Flow

May 2010- August 2011 recruited by local posters and media advertising via the Washington University Research Participant Registry.

40 subjects signed consent form and were screened for rs1761667 genotype and three groups (i.e., AA, AG and GG) matched in age and BMI were invited to participate on the taste test.

rs1761667-GG Genotype
subjects who are homozygous of CD36 genotype rs1761667-G allele.
rs1761667-AG Genotype

We will measure triolein detection levels as a marker of subjects' ability to detect triglyceride. Triolein taste detection thresholds were separately assessed using a three-alternative forced-choice (i.e. 3-AFC) ascending concentration.
