- Lead Sponsor
- University of Bath
- Brief Summary
Gut hormones have therapeutic potential in the prevention and treatment obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Rodent evidence suggests that calcium may potentiate the effects of protein ingestion on gut hormone secretion. Evidence in humans however, is lacking. This study aims to assess whether the addition of calcium to protein ingestion augments postprandial gut hormone availability in humans.
