Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Twenty morbidly obese subjects will be studied on 3 occasions, which are separated by at least 4 weeks. The subjects will be randomised into 3 “pre-load” groups, in which they will consume either a control of 30ml of water, or one of two preloads, either 30ml olive oil, or 55g Whey protein (in 100ml soup), 30min before a 50g beef patty meal. the preload is administered at t= -30min and the beef patty at t=0
Intervention code [1] 287390 0
Treatment: Other
Comparator / control treatment
The control will be consuming 30mL of water before the 50g beef patty meal
Control group
Placebo

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 289877 0
Rate of gastric emptying and small intestinal transit as measured by a Gamma camera that will measure the rate at which the stomach empties a 50 or 200ml glucose drink containing 3g of glucose (3-ortho-methyl-D-gluco-pyranose) and a small amount of radiation (which can be detected by the camera)
Timepoint [1] 289877 0

Blood glucose concentration and the correlation to the rate of gastric emptying, as measured by a portable blood glucose meter.
Timepoint [1] 303462 0
Measured at (t = -2 mins) to the ingestion of the drink and then at t = 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 120, 150, 180 and 240 mins
Secondary outcome [2] 303463 0
Blood pressure and heart rate and the correlation to the rate of gastric emptying, measured with an automated oscillometric BP monitor (DINAMAP ProCare 100)
Timepoint [2] 303463 0
~3min intervals for the first 2 hours and after that every 10mins for the next 2 hours
Secondary outcome [3] 303464 0
Gastrointestinal symptoms before and during procedure, as measured by a validated visual analogue scales (VAS) and also by a validated 19-point GI symptom questionnaire
Timepoint [3] 303464 0
VAS is completed at Baseline and then at and then at t = 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 120, 150, 180 and 240 mins
The validated 19-point GI symptom questionnaire is completed by patient before the procedure on each visit.
Secondary outcome [4] 303467 0
Patient body weight using calibrated mecahnical scales
Timepoint [4] 303467 0
Measured on each visit before the procedure
Secondary outcome [5] 303468 0
The impacts of pre-loads on patients with and without a history of diabetes mellitus
Timepoint [5] 303468 0
This will be assessed once all data collection is complete.

Summary
Brief summary
The current study aims to examine the effects of protein and fat ‘preloads’ of RYGB on GE or SI transit, appetite-related and incretin hormones, GI symptoms and haemodynamics. We hypothesized that when given before a mixed meal, (A) a fat ‘preload’ has no effect on GE but slows SI transit, increases the GLP-1 and PYY responses, reduces glycaemic and insulin responses and attenuates the fall in BP and rises in HR/SMA blood flow, as well as symptoms; and (B) a protein ‘preload’ has no effect on GE but slows SI transit, increases GLP-1 and PYY responses, reduces the glycaemic but increases the insulin response and attenuates the fall in BP and rises in HR/SMA flow and symptoms.
