A comparative study of the role of intestinal acetate production in human appetite and insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity

Recruiting
Conditions
We will include subjects from the Amsterdam HELIUS study (n=6000) and include only those with 10% lowest and 10% highest fecal butyryl-coenzyme A transferase enzyme (based on previously obtained results of 16S analysis and cross-validated by qPCR butyryl CoA transferase) will be approached for this study.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
- CNS (fMRI) responses to food pictures (BOLD) signal, i.e. in CNS activation in predefined regions (insula, striatum, amygdala, OFC, PFC, hippocampus and hypothalamus) in response to viewing food pictures or consuming actual food<br /><br>- Insulin sensitivity measured as Matsuda’s insulin sensitivity index during the standardized mixed meal test<br /><br>- Insuline secretion measured as c-peptide response during the standardized mixed meal test<br /><br>- Energy metabolism, measured by resting energy expenditure (REE)<br /><br>- Baseline physical activity energy expenditure (PAEE)<br /><br>- Dietary intake (https://mijn.voedingscentrum.nl/nl/eetmeter), weight and body<br>composition (Body Impedance Analysis, BIA).<br /><br>- Subjective appetite sensations and eating behavior (VAS questionnaires)<br>
