Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Male participants (aged 40-60 years) will randomise to ingest differing breakfasts. Four possible breakfast meals (treatment arms) will be provided. These include; Arm 1: High fat dairy breakfast. Arm 2: High fat non-dairy breakfast. Arm 3: Low fat dairy brekfast. Arm 4: Low fat non-dairy breakfast. Subjects will be randomised to ingest either arms 1 and 2 or 3 and 4, with sequence of each meal being further randomly allocated.

Arms 1 and 2 are equal in total energy (3120kJ Arm 1 versus 3250kJ Arm 2), and equal for macronutrients (54g fat, 20g protein and 37g carbohydrate). Arms 3 and 4 are equal in total energy (1860kJ Arm 3 versus 2010kJ Arm 4), and equal for macronutrients (19g fat, 29g protein and 39g carbohydrate).

Subjects will arrive at the laboratory in a fasted stated. Breakfast will be supplied and eaten within 15 minutes. Following each breakfast, blood samples, as well as adipose and muscle samples (via biopsy) will be taken. These will be used to determine what biological and metabolic responses occur after food ingestion. Breakfasts meals will be separated by a 4 week wash-out period.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 258762 0
Immune responses to a meal: - inflammatory signals and gene expression in immune cells found in the blood
Timepoint [1] 258762 0
Blood is taken before the meal and at hourly intervals after the meal for 6 hours.
Secondary outcome [1] 264819 0
Adipose and muscle responses to a meal; - Adipose and muscle gene and protein signaling responses to the meal will be measured.
Timepoint [1] 264819 0
Adipose and skeletal muscle will be taken using needle biopsy before the meal and again 2 and 4 hours after each meal.

Purpose of the study
Prevention
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Participants will be complete a medical questionnaire, physical examination and undergo a blood test. Based on weight and heart disease risk, participants will be recruited into one of two groups (lean or metabolic syndrome). Subjects will then be randomly allocated (allocation is not concealed) to one of two interventions, either high or low-fat breakfasts. Within each intervention arm the subjects will be further randomised to recieve either a dairy breakfast or a non-dairy breakfast.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Random number sequence generated by computer.
Masking / blinding
Blinded (masking used)
