The chronic effects of triacylglycerol structure of palm oil on glucose homeostasis, insulin secretion and sensitivity and lipid metabolism
ISRCTN ISRCTN16669399
ClinicalTrials.gov identifier
Public title The chronic effects of triacylglycerol structure of palm oil on glucose homeostasis, insulin secretion and sensitivity and lipid metabolism
Scientific title The chronic effects of triacylglycerol structure of palm oil in healthy adults on glucose homeostasis, insulin secretion and sensitivity and lipid metabolism: a single-blind, randomized crossover trial
Acronym N/A
Serial number at source 7221 (NMRR research ID)
Study hypothesis 1. Changing the triacylglycerol (TAG) structure of palm olein by interesterification, toproduce a fat with a higher proportion of palmitic acid in the sn-2 position, will alter glucose homeostasis, beta-cell activity (insulin secretion), insulin sensitivity and fasting plasma lipids.
2. Palm olein will not differ from high monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) oils with regards to its effects on insulin sensitivity and release.

Target number of participants 54
Interventions The dietary intervention will involve provision of 20% energy intake (approximately 45 g/d if based on a 2000 kcal basic diet) from the 3 test fats - palm olein (control), interesterified palm olein and high oleic sunflower oil (reference oil). Participants will first follow the intervention using the control test fat for 2 weeks, after which they will randomly be allocated to one of the 3 test diets for 6 weeks per intervention.
Primary outcome measure(s) 1. β-cell function (measured as the increments in C-peptide response to a mixed meal) will be measured at fasting, 10, 20, 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes postprandially. These measurements will be taken at the baseline visit, 6, 12 and 18 week visits.
2. C-peptide will also be measured at fasting at the 3, 9 and 15 week visits. C-peptide will be measured using a solid-phase, two-site chemiluminescence immunoassay
Secondary outcome measure(s) 1. Insulin and glucose concentrations will be measured at fasting (in duplicate separated by a 5-minute interval), 10, 20, 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes postprandially at the baseline visit, 6, 12 and 18 week visits.
2. Insulin and glucose concentrations will also be measured at fasting (in duplicate as described above) at the 3, 9 and 15 week visits. Insulin will be measured using a solid phase, two-site chemiluminescence immunoassay and glucose will be measured using an endpoint enzymatic reaction.
