FishMeal: Health Effects of Salmon Fishmeal in Humans
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Diabetes contributes significantly to the burden of disease in Norway and cardiovascular disease is the main cause of mortality.
Both lean and fatty fish are shown to have beneficial health effects. In addition to omega-3 fatty acids, fish contain potential health-promoting components such as taurine, vitamin D, vitamin B12, iodine, selenium and more unspecified components such as bioactive peptides. With the expected growth in the aquaculture sector, more protein-rich by-products will become available.
The overall aim of this project is to investigate the health beneficial effects of fish protein in the form of salmon fishmeal in a human intervention study with regard to metabolic risk markers.
We will include subjects with impaired glucose tolerance to a randomized controlled parallel study. The subjects will receive capsules with fishmeal or placebo.

| Placebo Comparator: Microcrystalline cellulose 7,5 g microcrystalline cellulose per day in capsules by mounth for 8 weeks |
Dietary Supplement: Microcrystalline cellulose
Microcrystalline cellulose contain no energy and is less fermented in the gut than other dietary fibers.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- 2 hour postprandial blood glucose concentration [Change in 2 hour blood glucose concentration from baseline and after 8 weeks between groups]
Glucose concentration measured before and after a standard glucose tolerance test at baseline and after 8 weeks
- Fasting blood glucose concentration [Change in blood glucose concentration from baseline and after 8 weeks between groups]
Measured at baseline and after 8 weeks.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Blood concentration of insulin [Changes in blood insulin concentration from baseline and after 8 weeks between groups]
Blood concentration measured fasting and 2 hours after an oral glucose tolerance test
- HOMA-IR [Changes in HOMAR-IR from baseline and after 8 weeks between groups]
Blood concentration of insulin x blood concentration of glucose will be used to calculate HOMAR-IR fasting and 2 hours after an oral glucose tolerance test
- Blood concentration of HbA1c [Changes in blood HbA1c concentration from baseline and after 8 weeks between groups]
Blood concentration measured fasting
- Blood concentration of incretins (i.e. GLP-1) [Changes in blood glucose concentration of increstins from baseline and after 8 weeks between groups]
Blood concentration of incretins measured fasting and 2 hours after oral glucose tolerance test
Other Outcome Measures
- Markers related to lipid metabolism [Changes in blood concentrations of markers related to lipid metabolism from baseline and after 8 weeks intervensjon]
Blood concentrations of i.e. triglycerides, total-, LDL- and HDL- cholesterol, free fatty acids and lipoprotein subclasses (lipidomics)
- Markers related to low grade inflammation, including changes in genes expression level in peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMCs) in circulation [Changes in blood concentrations of markers related to inflammation from baseline and after 8 weeks between groups]
Blood concentrations of i.e. CRP, IL-6
- Markers related to appetite [Changes in blood concentrations of markers related to appetite from baseline and after 8 weeks between groups]
Blood concentrations of gut hormones, i.e. PYY, amylin, leptin
- Changes in PBMC wholegenome transcriptome and untargeted metabolomics [Changes in blood concentration of PBMC wholegenome transcriptome and untargeted metabolomics from baseline and after 8 weeks whithin and between groups]
Blood or urine transcriptome and metabolomics
- Changes in markers related to gut microbiota [Changes in markers related to gut microbiota between groups from baseline and after 8 weeks intervensjon]
Faecal short-chain fatty acids, bacteria type and diversity
- Changes in blood concentration of micronutrients related to fishintake [Changes in blood concentrations of micronutrients related to fishintake between groups from baseline and after 8 weeks intervensjon]
Blood concentrations of i.e. vitamin D, Zn, Se and iodine
- Changes in blood concentration of amino acids [Changes in blood concentrations of amino acids between groups postprandially, and between baseline and 8 weeks of intervention]
Blood concentrations of different aminoacids such as i.e valine, isoleucine, leucine
- Body weight [Change between groups from baseline and after 8 weeks intervensjon will be calculated]
Bodyweight (kg) will be used to calculate i.e BMI (kg/m2)
- Height [Change between groups from baseline and after 8 weeks intervensjon will be calculated]
Height (m) will be used to calculate i.e. BMI (kg/m2)
