Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Behaviour - TRF

Experimental: TRF - Participants will follow their regular diet for two weeks before 3-day lead-in food prior to the metabolic testing at visit 0. Participants will then be instructed to eat their habitual diet only within a 10-hour time frame each day for 8 weeks. Participants may self-select the precise window that best suits their lifestyles, however any food and drink must be consumed by 7:30pm.


Behaviour: TRF
Participants will be instructed to consume their habitual diet within a self-selected 10 hour period every day.

Summary
Brief summary
This study will explore the effects of eight weeks of time-restricted feeding (TRF) on body
weight and composition, glycaemic control, 24-hour glucose profiles, glucoregulatory
hormones, and cardiovascular risk in men at high risk of type 2 diabetes. The investigators
hypothesise that 8 weeks of TRF will reduce body weight, improve body composition, improve
glycaemic control and blood lipid profiles. The potential mechanism will be explored in terms
of the changes in gene expression patterns and multi-omics level (e.g., adipose tissue
transcriptome, blood proteome).
