CCRC: Effects of Partially Hydrolyzed Whey Peptides (PHWP) On Weight Loss In Individuals With The Metabolic Syndrome (METS) - Full Text View

ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00739479

Purpose

The aim of this study is to compare the effects of two different protein supplements (partially hydrolyzed whey protein, PHWP vs. partially hydrolyzed gelatin, PHG) on weight loss in obse individuals with metabolic syndrome (METS). These two supplements will contain equal amounts of protein but differ considerably in their amino acid contents. Whey protein is rich in essential amino acids whereas gelatin is rich in proline.

In obese individuals with METS, the hypotheses are:

PHWP will augment fat-mass loss and increase lean-mass to fat-mass ration more than PHG.
PHWP will improve insulin action more than PHG.
PHWP will decrease cardiovascular disease risk more than PHG.

Primary Outcome Measures:

The investigators hope to determine the effects of incorporating PHWP into the diet of a person diagnosed with METS. [ Time Frame: 2 Years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Study Completion Date:	August 2010
Estimated Primary Completion Date:	August 2010 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Arms	Assigned Interventions
1: Active Comparator Patients will be randomized to receive PHWP. Since sex and baseline weight can influence the response, randomization will be stratified according to these variables.	Dietary Supplement: Weight Loss Participants will reduce their total dietary intake by ~800 kcal/day. ~100 kcal will be replaced by either the PHWP of PHG protein supplement, resulting in a total energy restriction of ~700 kcal/day.
2: Placebo Comparator Patients will be randomized to receive PHG. Since sex and baseline weight can influence the response, randomization will be stratified according to these variables.	Dietary Supplement: Weight Loss Participants will reduce their total dietary intake by ~800 kcal/day. ~100 kcal will be replaced by either the PHWP of PHG protein supplement, resulting in a total energy restriction of ~700 kcal/day.

Detailed Description:

The Metabolic Syndrome (METS) is a clinical disorder characterized by the following problems: Obesity, especially located in the waist area, elevated blood fats (lipids), high blood pressure and insulin resistance. The METS affects one third of the adult population in the USA and increases the risks for both diabetes and hardening of the arteries, leading to heart attacks and strokes. The best treatment for improving the symptoms of METS is weight loss. In previous studies, it has been demonstrated that whey protein (WP) supplementation increased weight loss and especially fat-mass loss in obese, insulin resistant women when compared to carbohydrates. We now propose to compare WP to another protein source in patients with the METS during weight loss. In addition, we will use a special preparation called partially hydrolyzed whey protein, which may have specific properties that increase fat mass loss.
