Effect of Early Time-Restricted Eating on Appetite, Appetite-Regulatory Hormones and Energy Intake. 12 Crossover Design Short-Term

Not yet recruiting
Clinical Trial NCT07500792 is an interventional study for Healthy Adult Male and is currently not yet recruiting. Enrollment is planned to begin on April 1, 2026 and continue until the study accrues 12 participants. Led by University of Glasgow, this study is expected to complete by November 30, 2026. The latest data from ClinicalTrials.gov was last updated on March 30, 2026.
Brief Summary
This randomised crossover study's primary aim is to investigate the effect of short-term fasting (eTRE) on subjective appetite and appetite-regulatory hormones (i.e., leptin, adiponectin, total glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP), total peptide YY (PYY), acylated ghrelin and Insulin). In addition, to examine if the one-day early time-restricted eating influences energy expenditure an...Show More
Detailed Description
Screening visit At the screening visit, the participant will firstly meet with a researcher involved in the study. They will then be directed to the laboratory before being asked to sign the informed consent form followed by the Health Screening questionnaire. Further, participants will have height and weight measured by a researcher, and BMI will be subsequently calculated. Those who are eligible to participate will...Show More

Arms / Interventions
Participant Group/ArmIntervention/Treatment
ExperimentalThe normal diet experimental trial
The participants will attend the lab in a fast state. They will have three meals in 12 hours, each providing 33% of their estimated energy needs.
Normal diet
The participants will consume three meals in 12 hours, each providing 33% of their estimated energy needs.
instantaneous visual analogue scale (iVAS)
Appetite ratings (hunger, satisfaction, fullness, prospective food consumption and desire to eat) will be measured by visual analogue scales (VAS).
ExperimentalThe eTRE diet experimental trial
The participants will attend the lab in a fast state. They will have three meals in 16 hours, each providing 33% of their estimated energy needs.
early Time-Restricted Eating (eTRE)
The participants will consume three meals in 6 hours, each providing 33% of their estimated energy needs.
instantaneous visual analogue scale (iVAS)
Appetite ratings (hunger, satisfaction, fullness, prospective food consumption and desire to eat) will be measured by visual analogue scales (VAS).
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome MeasureMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Change in Total Peptide-YY (PYY)
The researchers will draw blood samples at different time points during the trial to measure the change in PYY levels. The area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) of PYY will be calculated using the trapezoidal rule.
At 0 (baseline), 0.5, 1, 2, and 3 hours
Change in Acylated Ghrelin
The researchers will draw blood samples at different time points during the trial to measure changes in acylated ghrelin levels. The area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) of acylated ghrelin will be calculated using the trapezoidal rule.
At 0 (baseline), 0.5, 1, 2 and 3 hours.
Change in Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1)
The researchers will draw blood samples at different time points during the trial to measure the change in GLP-1 blood levels. Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) of GLP-1 will be calculated using the trapezoidal rule.
At 0 (baseline), 0.5, 1, 2 and 3 hours.
Change in Leptin
The researchers will draw blood samples at different time points during the trial to measure the change in Leptin levels. The area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) of Leptin will be calculated using the trapezoidal rule.
At 0 (baseline), 0.5, 1, 2 and 3 hours.
Change in Adiponectin
The researchers will draw blood samples at different time points during the trial to measure changes in Adiponectin levels. The area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) of Adiponectin will be calculated using the trapezoidal rule.
At 0 (baseline), 0.5, 1, 2 and 3 hours.
Change in Gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP)
The researchers will draw blood samples at different time points during the trial to measure changes in GIP levels. The area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) of GIP will be calculated using the trapezoidal rule.
At 0 (baseline), 0.5, 1, 2 and 3 hours.
Change in Insulin
The researchers will draw blood samples at different time points during the trial to measure the change in Insulin levels. The area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) of Insulin will be calculated using the trapezoidal rule.
At 0 (baseline), 0.5, 1, 2 and 3 hours.
Change in subjective appetite sensations
The researchers will assess the subjective appetite sensations using 100 mm visual analog scales (VAS) to measure appetite sensations (hunger, satiety, fullness, prospective food consumption, and desire to eat). The VAS are 100 mm long, with words anchored at each end expressing the most positive and negative ratings. Scores for each appetite construct range from 0-100.
Will take place seven times over a two-hour period in Day1 and nine times in Day2 at 0 (baseline), 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 hours.
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome MeasureMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Energy Intake
To determine the amount of each food item consumed, the researchers will measure the difference in weight between before and after the meal. The researchers will use manufacturer details to determine energy consumption.
