Glucose and Fructose Stimulated Brain Activity in Obese Subjects

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Exploratory Behavior
• Interventions: Dietary Supplement: tap water; Dietary Supplement: Glucose; Dietary Supplement: Fructose

• Registration Number: NCT02589613
• Lead Sponsor: University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland

Brief Summary

The objective is to investigate neuro-anatomical correlates of the regulation of energy intake by means of functional MRI. Administration of glucose as well as fructose is followed by functional brain MRI, and findings are correlated with serum glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) levels as an endogenous satiety signal in obese humans.
