Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
A single 60 minute intraduodenal infusion at 4mL/min of:
a) 0 kcal/min (control of saline solution )
b) 0.5 kcal/min (Whey Protein Hydrolysate)
c) 1.5 kcal/min (Whey Protein Hydrolysate)
d) 3.0 kcal/min (Whey Protein Hydrolysate)

Appetite sensation questionnaires in the form of a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), blood samples.

A buffet meal will be provided at the end of infusion and the participant has 30 minutes to eat until comfortably full. The buffet meal consists of 300ml orange juice, 600ml water, 375ml iced coffee, 4 slices white bread, 4 slices brown bread, 100g deli leg ham, 100g virginian chicken, 4 slices cheese, 100g tomato, 100g cucumber, 100g lettuce, 2 portions mayonnaise, 2 portions margarine, 1 medium apple, 1 medium banana, 200g chocolate custard, 150g fruit salad, 200g strawberry yoghurt, and a 14g milky way chocolate bar.

Each volunteer will receive one of each infusion solutions on each of the 4 study days. Each study visit will be separated by no less than 3 days. Each study visit will last approximately 3-6 hours.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 258362 0
Appetite sensations using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) (satiety, hunger, fullness, thirst, desire to eat and amount of food desired to eat)
Timepoint [1] 258362 0
Intubation occurs on subject arrival.

At t= -10 until 0, a baseline of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract motility is recorded.

Infusion starts at t= 0 until 60 minutes.

Extubation and buffet meal presented at 60 minutes and subject allowed to consume freely, until comfortably full, for 30 minutes (until t= 90).

Blood samples and VAS questionnaire are taken at t= -10, 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, & 90 minutes.
Primary outcome [2] 258363 0
Gut Hormone release: cholecyctokinin (CCK), glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), peptide YY (PYY), and Ghrelin.

Gut hormone release will be assessed by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELIZA) from the blood samples taken.
Timepoint [2] 258363 0
Intubation occurs on subject arrival.

At t= -10 until 0, a baseline of GI tract motility is recorded.

Infusion starts at t= 0 until 60 minutes.

Extubation and buffet meal presented at 60 minutes and subject allowed to consume freely, until comfortably full, for 30 minutes (until t= 90).

Blood samples and VAS questionnaire are taken at t= -10, 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, & 90 minutes.
Primary outcome [3] 258364 0
Antropyloroduodenal Motility (antropyloroduodenal pressures, number of antral, duodenal and isolated pyloric pressure waves, and basal pyloric pressure) assessed by Manometry.
Timepoint [3] 258364 0
From intubation until 60 minutes end of infusion
Secondary outcome [1] 264098 0
Macronutrient and total energy intake at the buffet meal will be analysed using the FoodWorks software program.
Timepoint [1] 264098 0
Buffet meal will be presented at 60 minutes when the infusion ends and the subject will be allowed to freely consume food until comfortably full for 30 minutes (until t=90 minutes).

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)
Volunteers are asked to visit the clinic for a 30 minute screening visit. A questionnaire is answered by the volunteer, based on the inclusion/exclusion criteria and eligibilty is determined. A signed informed consent form is obtained and study dates are established. Eligible volunteers are assigned a subject number and randomised into a treatment for each study visit, using a randomisation table which was created on an excel spreadsheet. Randomisation involved contacting the holder (study assistant) of the randomisation table to inform them of the next subject's details and study dates. The unblinded study assistant is therefore responsible for allocating a random treatment to the subject and preparing the solution on each study day.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
The randomisation table was generated using Microsoft Office Excel.
