Effect of a Test Meal on Satiation Hormones in Obese and Normal Weight Adolescents

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Endocrine System Diseases
Interventions
Dietary Supplement: test meal (500 kcal)
Registration Number
NCT02020395
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland
Brief Summary

The objective of this study is to examine ghrelin, amylin, glucagon and glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1 responses to a test meal in lean and obese individuals.

Detailed Description

The primary hypothesis is that obese adolescents have a disturbed balance of hormones associated with appetite regulation with less suppression of ghrelin and attenuated stimulation of GLP-1 secretion in response to meal intake compared to lean normal weight controls. A second aim of the study was to test which gastrointestinal peptides are most associated with insulin resistance.
