Metabolic Responses to Breakfast in Adolescent Girls

NCT04476693 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 18

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Breakfast consumption (BC) is frequently associated with a healthy lifestyle, healthy body weight and favourable cardiometabolic health. Research from studies in adults suggests that breakfast skipping causes elevated plasma glucose and insulin concentrations after lunch. However, there is currently no evidence to suggest a similar metabolic response in adolescent girls, a population that frequently skips breakfast. The primary purpose of this study is to examine the effects of BC versus breakfast omission (BO) on metabolic responses after lunch in healthy adolescent girls.

Conditions

  • Postprandial Hyperglycemia

Interventions

OTHER

Breakfast consumption

Consumption of breakfast: The breakfast provided was designed based on the "characteristics of an ideal breakfast" outlined in Giovannini et al., (2008). The breakfast provided in the present study will include the following: all-bran cereals (Kellogg's), semi-skimmed milk (Tesco), Royal Gala Apple (Tesco) and Orange Juice from Concentrate (Tesco) containing the amount of carbohydrates usually consumed at breakfast in the UK (Reeves et al., 2013). The portion for each participant will contain 0.06 g of carbohydrate per kcal of measured RMR. As the portion size (20% of daily calorie intake) will be calculated based on individual RMR , no leftovers will be allowed.

OTHER

Breakfast Omission

Omission of breakfast. Participants will consume water within 15 min, the individual volume of which will be calculated based on the liquid content of the breakfast \[milk (ml)+ orange juice (ml)\].
