Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Subjects will receive in randomised, double-blind fashion, a 600mg bolus administration of quinine either intraduodenally or intragastrically on 2 separate visits. Each visit will last 5hrs in duration, and will be separated by 3-7 days. Visits will be carried out in the Adelaide Medical School, University of Adelaide, by staff members trained in the required clinical research facilities.

Subjects will consume a standardised dinner meal, a 400g McCain's beef lasagne, the night before both study visits by no later than 7pm. After fasting for 14 hours overnight and refraining from alcohol and exercise for 24 hours, subjects will arrive at the clinical research facility by 8:30am. Upon arrival, subjects will be intubated with a 17-channel manometric catheter (Dentsleeve, Mui Scientific) that will be inserted through an anaesthetised nostril and allowed to pass through the stomach and into the duodenum by peristalsis. The manometric catheter consists of 16 side holes spaced at 1.5 cm intervals, measuring pressures in the antrum, pylorus, and duodenum (APD pressures). The most proximal antral channel (with the side hole positioned approximately 9cm proximal to the pylorus when the catheter is in position) is used for intragastric administration. An additional channel (with the side hole positioned approximately 14 cm distal to the pylorus when the catheter is in position) is used for intraduodenal administration. The correct positioning of the catheter will be maintained by continuous measurement of the transmucosal potential difference (TMPD) between the most distal antral channel and the most proximal duodenal channel. All manometric channels will be perfused with degassed, distilled water, except for the two TMPD channels, which will be perfused with degassed 0.9% saline, at 0.15 ml/min. An intravenous cannula will be placed into a right forearm vein for regular blood sampling to measure plasma hormone concentrations. Once the catheter has been positioned correctly, fasting motility will be monitored continuously, and immediately after the end of phase III activity of the fasting migrating motor complex (MMC), during a period of motor quiescence (t=-10 - 0 min), a 9 ml venous blood sample (baseline) will be taken, and the subject will complete a 100mm visual analogue scale questionnaire (VAS) to assess appetite-related perceptions (fullness, hunger, etc.) and GI symptoms (nausea and bloating). At t = -1 min, either the intraduodenal or intragastric bolus of quinine will be administered and another blood sample and VAS questionnaire will be taken immediately after administration. Regular 9ml venous blood samples will be taken throughout the study and additional VAS completed. A total of 90ml of blood will be taken on each study day (180ml over both study visits).

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 319553 0
Plasma concentrations of gluco-regulatory and gut hormones (Insulin, GLP-1, CCK, glucagon, ghrelin, PYY).
This outcome is of an exploratory nature so that specific gastrointestinal hormones to be measured may be decided upon based on the effect of the intervention on this and other outcomes, therefore, this is a composite outcome.
Timepoint [1] 319553 0
Samples will be collected at t = -10, 0 , 10, 20 , 30 , 45, 60 , 75 , 90, 120 min, where t = -10 is prior to quinine administration and t = 0 is immediately post-administartion.
Primary outcome [2] 319725 0
Antropyloroduodenal motility (number of antral, duodenal and isolated pyloric pressure waves, and basal pyloric pressure) will be measured using a 17-channel manometric assembly (Dentsleeve, Mui Scientific).
This outcome is of an exploratory nature so that specific motility parameters to be measured may be decided upon based on the effect of the intervention on this and other outcomes, therefore, this is a composite outcome.

Study design
Purpose of the study
Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Eligible volunteers are assigned a subject number and randomised treatment for each study visit. Randomisation involves contacting the holder (study assistant) of the randomisation table to inform them of subject details and study dates. The unblinded study assistant is, therefore, responsible for allocating a random treatment to the subject and administering the dose.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
The randomisation is generated using a randomisation plan generator available at www.randomization.com
Masking / blinding

Statistical methods / analysis
All data will be encrypted to ensure subject details remain confidential. Statistical analysis will be performed in collaboration with a professional biostatistician. Hormone concentrations, APD motility, glucose concentrations and appetite perceptions will be analysed using repeated-measures analysis of variance (ANOVA), with time and treatment as factors. One-way ANOVA will be used to evaluate AUC data for gut hormones and appetite perceptions. Post-hoc paired comparisons, corrected for multiple comparisons, will be performed if ANOVAs reveal significant effects.
