Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This is a randomised, cross-over study in lean male participants (Body Mass Index (BMI) 18-25kg/m2). This study is the second of three parts and will investigate whether a commercially available lipid emulsion (OlibraTM) delivered as a single bolus “shot” or within a yoghurt has a differential effect on satiety, hunger and energy intake administered immediately prior to a meal.
Subjects will be requested to fast for 12 hours prior to the test day.

Participants will be randomized to receive each of 4 treatments over the study period. A single treatment will be given on each study day. The treatments will be administered at the Human Nutrition Unit on the morning of the intervention at 09:25am. Specifically, the trial will measure the participants’ thoughts of hunger and fullness throughout the morning of a single day, and measure food intake at an ad libitum buffet style breakfast meal given 5 minutes after the treatment. Study visits to be separated by a wash-out period of at least 1 day.

Treatments:

Shots:
A. 4.2g Control lipid + 10.8g water + 185g glass warm water
B. 15g OlibraTM + 185g glass of water.

Yoghurts:
C. 125g high fat yoghurt + 33.5g low fat yoghurt + 4g polycal (Nutricia) + 12.5g palm olein + 25g water.
D. 160g high fat yoghurt + 15g OlibraTM + 8g palm olein + 17g water.

Control lipid = palm olein; OlibraTM = commercially available ‘Slim Shot’; Polycal, Nutritia = a powdered, carbohydrate energy source, medical food containing maltodextrin.

Participants will be randomized to receive all 4 treatments detailed above over 4 study days. The treatments are matched for total weight (200g). The 2 shot treatments (A and B) are matched for energy (155.4 kJ). The yoghurts are matched for total energy (1165kJ), protein (6.8g), fat (15g) and carbohydrate (CHO) (28.8g).
There must be at least 1 day between study visits. Participants are free to choose which days they come in to the unit so the study duration will be from 6 days to a couple of months if participants can only come in one day per week.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 252944 0
Energy Intake at ad libitum breakfast meal. Breakfast items will be weighed by research staff pre- and post-meal, and energy, fat, CHO and protein intake calculated using the dietary program Foodworks.
Timepoint [1] 252944 0
35 minutes post-test beverage
Secondary outcome [1] 257671 0
Secondary Outcome 1: Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores for hunger and fullness.
Timepoint [1] 257671 0
Time points: t= -5, 5, 35, 65, 95, 125 and 155 mins. These time points are set assuming t=0 is the time the treatment is administered. Therefore any negative time points refer to a VAS measurement taken that many minutes before the treatment. Positive time points are for VAS measurements at that number of minutes post-treatment.
Secondary outcome [2] 257674 0
Secondary Outcome 2: Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores for thoughts of food and satisfaction.
Timepoint [2] 257674 0
Time points: t= -5, 5, 35, 65, 95, 125 and 155 mins. These time points are set assuming t=0 is the time the treatment is administered. Therefore any negative time points refer to a VAS measurement taken that many minutes before the treatment. Positive time points are for VAS measurements at that number of minutes post-treatment.

Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
This study is a randomised, cross-over trial. Randomisation is carried out using a Latin square design, whereby the next patient registered is allocated to the sequential randomisation code. The Latin square will be drawn prior to recruitment & as each participant is registered they will be assigned the next available registration number. The registration number is linked the Latin square & hence the order which each participant will receive the 6 treatments. Participants will be unaware of the order of which treatment they will be given at each visit.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
A Latin square will be used to randomise the subjects into 4 treatments in this study. As this is a cross-over trial, each participant will complete all intervention arms.
