Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The two doses were created by dissolving the PRSE in water. The lower dose (0.5% w/w) will be 1g of PRSE dissolved in 199g of water and higher dose (5% w/w) will be 10g of PRSE dissolved in 190g of water. Along with the test drink a bread sandwich will be offered. The bread sandwich is formulated to deliver approximately 50g of carbohydrates. It consists of bread (103.4g), butter (5g) and ricotta cheese (15g). The participants are constants subjected to direct supervision to ensure the consumption of complete meal with the treatment drink.

Four treatment sessions will be scheduled for eligible participants at the BASE Facility. Each treatment session will be conducted 7 days apart. Pre-visit instructions will include a 10-hour fasting period before each session and adherence to a given low FODMAP diet on the previous day. Participants will also be instructed to avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours before each visit.

During each treatment session, participants will undergo measurements of height, weight, waist circumference, body composition, and blood pressure. Fasting finger prick blood samples for glucose and insulin will be collected immediately before the meal intervention. In addition, a breath sample will also be collected to measure breath hydrogen to check whether the participant adhered to the low FODMAP diet. Timers will be started upon the first bite of the meal. Participants will be advised to alternate between the test drink and the bread sandwich. In addition, they will also be required to finish the meal within 10-15 minutes. Additional finger prick blood samples and breath samples will be taken at 15-minute time intervals during the 1st hour following the meal intervention and every 30 minutes during the next two hours. Post blood samples for insulin will only be taken every 30 minutes.
