Satiety Response of Four Dietary Fibers
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Studies have found a relationship between dietary fiber consumption and body weight regulation. This relationship may stem from enhanced satiety through fermentation of certain fibers in the large intestine.
The objective of this study is to determine and compare satiety ratings, changes in food intake, and gastrointestinal effects for four fibers: fructooligosaccharide, inulin, soluble corn fiber, and resistant starch.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Satiety response using visual analogue scales [0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 180 minutes postprandially]
Satiety response will be measured using subjective perceptions of hunger, fullness, satisfaction, and prospective food intake evaluated by previously validated visual analogue scales (VAS).
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Food intake [180 minutes postprandially and over 24 hours]
- Breath hydrogen response [0 and 180 minutes]
- Gastrointestinal tolerance using visual analogue scales (VAS) [24 hours]
Subjective ratings of bloating, stool consistency, and flatulence will be measured using VAS. A stool count will also be recorded.
