Filter by:This multi-centre, randomised controlled trial will be conducted over 12-weeks to evaluate whether lower appetite is associated with weight loss maintenance success. The effect of a healthy diet supplemented with products that could enhance feelings of satiety and reduce food intake after an initial weight loss period to assess weight maintenance. Participants will either receive the active SATIN product or a matched control product. The products contain ingredients which have been shown to positively affect satiety, satiation and/or body weight and are all accepted food ingredients approved for human consumption in Europe. They will be incorporated into different food matrices, e.g. drinks, shakes and cheeses. Corresponding control products without the active ingredients will be provided to participants allocated to the control group. The participants will be instructed in detail on how and when to consume the test products. Participants will be 300 adults (BMI >27kg/m2; Age>18years) who will be tested at three research sites (University of Liverpool, United Kingdom; University of Copenhagen, Denmark and University Rovira I Virgili, Spain). Recruitment will be divided between sites. Participants will attend assessments at one of the three research sites continually throughout the study period. The primary outcome is to assess potential associations between changes in appetite (ad libitum energy intake, acute as well as sustained) and change in body weight during the 12-week follow-up period. Secondary outcomes include assessing waist circumference, body composition (DXA), subjective appetite, biomarkers of health outcomes (blood and urine indices), changes in physical activity as well as consumer benefits of the trial (assessed in a range of questionnaires) to determine diet efficacy.
Dairy products have the potential to be healthy snack foods for children and are provided in a variety of food matrices. For instance, milk represents a fluid product, yogurt can be classified as a semi-solid food, and finally, cheese is the example of solid food. This experiment is aimed to examine the effect of dairy products with different food matrices on satiety and food intake in children. Dairy products will be compared with other non-dairy snacks popular among children including cookies and potato chips.
Scientists are examining the genetic and environmental influences on appetite and weight gain. The main purpose of this study is to look at how genetic and environmental factors may influence how the brain regulates appetite and food intake. Understanding how the brain regulates appetite and food intake may eventually lead to new ways to help people avoid obesity or lose weight.
Liquid foams can be formed by trapping pockets of gas in a beverage. The primary objective of this study is to test the individual contribution, and possible interaction, of the liquid volume and gas to liquid volume ratio (i.e. %overrun (%OR, defined as 100 x [gas volume/liquid volume]) of a beverage to its satiating properties.
To compare, in a randomized, single-blinded, cross-over study the satiety effect of a very low energy aerated beverage with normal energy aerated beverages in healthy subjects.
To our knowledge no study has assessed the effects of a meal on neural responses to food cues and compared this with a condition simulating natural inter-meal hunger levels. This is important, as the existing literature often compares the effect of fasting to satiation, which may not reflect typical appetite processes. Thus, the purpose of this research was to examine the effect of a satiating lunch compared to a normal pre-meal state on blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) activity in the human brain, as measured using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
A 4 week double blinded parallel design with an intervention condition and a control condition will be employed. After having completed screening procedure and a baseline test day, participants will be randomized to either intervention or control condition. In the following 4 weeks, the participants will have to consume the distributed food product daily before completing another test day.
The objectives of the research are to assess the effects of increased protein and fiber intake at breakfast on neural activation in brain regions associated with appetitive drive and reward-driven eating, measures of subjective appetite, and ingestive behavior in overweight adults. Additional outcomes of interest include the effects of the breakfast intervention on blood sugar and cholesterol profiles.
This clinical trial is being conducted to study whether eating certain meals will reduce your desire to eat and for a longer period of time compared to others and to determine the post-meal glucose response associated with each of these breakfast foods.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of eating various levels of mycoprotein (Quorn) on feelings of appetite, energy intake and levels of gut hormones in overweight volunteers.
