Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This is a gastrointestinal infusion study where a CHO load or saline control will be infused directly into the distal ileum and the proximal duodenum using an extended naso-gastric (NG) feeding tube (catheter). Introduction of an NG catheter is a commonly used clinical procedure in enterally fed patients.
The objective of this study is to determine whether direct infusion of dietary CHO into the distal small intestine (terminal ileum) alters appetite-related sensations and food intake in a group of lean healthy men.
The study aims to determine the effect of CHO infused into the ileum using a naso-ileal (NI) tube on:
(i) subjective VAS-rated feelings of hunger, fullness and associated measures of satiety
(ii) energy intake at a subsequent lunch and dinner meal
(iii) gut peptides associated with satiety including cholecystokinin (CCK), glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and peptide YY (PYY)
The primary hypotheses are:

1. Infusion of a CHO load into the ileum will increase satiety and decrease subsequent food intake when compared with a duodenal infusion

2. Infusion of a CHO load into the ileum will increase circulating levels of the appetite-related gut peptides CCK, GLP-1 and PYY.

This is a 5 day residential study.
Infusions:
Four treatments comprising:
1. Saline control – infused into the duodenum
2. Glucose - infused into the duodenum
3. Saline control - infused into the ileum
4. Glucose - infused into the ileum

The CHO dose will be a 15g bolus of glucose

The infusions wil be administered over a duration of 1.5 hours. Participants will receive all 4 infusion treatments in a random order

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 286930 0
Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores for hunger and fullness.
Timepoint [1] 286930 0
Subjective ratings of satiety and nausea measured using visual analogue scales (VAS) at -120, -105, -90, -60, -30 & 0 (immediately before the test preload), 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120 (ad lib lunch), 150, 180, 240, 300, 360, 420 and 480 (ad lib dinner) and 510 minutes post preload.
t = 0 is the time that the infusion (treatment) begins
Secondary outcome [1] 297011 0
Energy Intake at ad libitum lunch meal. Energy, fat, carbohydrate (CHO) and protein intake will be calculated using the dietary program Foodworks Copyright (c) 1998-2007 Xyris Software.
Timepoint [1] 297011 0
Immediately post the ad libitum lunch, snack & dinner meals (t=150, t=255 and t=510)

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)
This is a randomised, cross-over trial. Randomisation is carried out using a Latin square design, whereby the order at which participants agree to commence the study determines the order at which they receive the treatments Participants are randomized to receive all 4 treatments. the person who determined if a subject was eligible for inclusion in the trial was unaware, when this decision was made, to which group the subject would be allocated.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
A Latin square will be used to randomise the subjects to each of the 4 intervention arms. Each participant is randomized to complete all 4 intervention arms.
Masking / blinding
