Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>- Hypothalamic activity as measured by BOLD signal intensity of the<br /><br>hypothalamus after ingestion of solution (75 gram in 300ml) in patients with<br /><br>obesity before CLI (baseline)<br /><br>- Hypothalamic activity as measured by BOLD signal intensity of the<br /><br>hypothalamus after ingestion of solution (75 gram in 300ml) in patients with<br /><br>obesity after CLI (in-tervention effect)<br /><br>- Differences in BOLD signal intensity before and after a CLI<br /><br>- Comparison in BOLD signal intensity between patients with obesity, healthy<br /><br>con-trols (data previously collected), and patients with diabetes mellitus type<br /><br>2 ( previ-ously collected). </p><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>- Resting state whole brain fMRI outcome measures:<br /><br>- Voxel-based connectivity as measured by Eigen vector centrality<br /><br>mapping of resting FMRI data<br /><br>- Network connectivity as measured by network Z-scores of functional<br /><br>connec-tivity of resting FMRI data<br /><br>- Associations between MRI data and questionnaires, anthropometrics,<br /><br>biochemical and metabolic parameters, immunological parameters and endocrine<br /><br>parameters collected at the Erasmus MC.</p><br>
