Background summary
There is accumulating evidence that amino acids such as leucine play a role as insulin
secretagogues. One possible clinical application that is currently explored is a protein hydrolysate. Research with this product has shown that co-ingestion of this product with carbohydrate augments the insulin response and enhances glucose disposal.
Previous experiments were also carried out with a high dose of carbohydrate. It is not known if the hydrolysate is efficacious in the presence of lower carbohydrate doses.
The current study will therefore address the efficacy of a fixed dose of the hydrolysate, combined with either a low or a high carbohydrate load in lowering blood levels of insulin and glucose in patients with T2DM.
Objectives:
The objective is to assess the effect of a 10-g dose of the hydrolysate on blood levels of insulin and glucose in patients with T2DM, combined with a 25 or 50g carbohydrate load.
Study Design:
Randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, cross-over study with 3 study-days, separated by 7-day intervals.
Patients:
The study will be carried out in 12 patients 18 - 70 years of age, with an established diagnosis of T2DM treated by oral anti-diabetic therapy for at least 3 years.
Treatments:
Patients will receive a freshly prepared drink containing 25 or 50 g of carbohydrate (50% glucose and 50% maltodextrin) with 10 g hydrolysate or 50 g without Hydrolysate as a negative control.
Drinks will be flavored by adding 0.2 g sodium saccharinate, 1.8 g citric acid, and 5 g cream vanilla flavor (Quest International) per liter of beverage.
Study parameters:
Serum concentrations and AUC of glucose and insulin.
Study objective
10 grams of a hydrolysate effectively increase insulin secretion and lowers plasma glucose levels after a 25 or 50 grams carbohydrate load in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM-2)
Study design
Baseline, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 min.
Intervention
The treatments will consist of a drink that will be freshly prepared prior to use. The drink will be administered as a single oral bolus (300 mL) containing 25 or 50 g of carbohydrate (50% glucose and 50% maltodextrin) with 10 g Hydrolysate.
