Filter by:To get a better understanding of the interaction between metabolism, neural responses, cognitive processes and appetite the investigaters will examine the effect of food consumption on cognitive processes. The investigaters will look at the effect of satiation on cognitive performance on both a behavioural and neuronal level. In this study participants will undergo functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) measurements while performing a food reward and inhibition task, and in addition perform a memory, working memory and delay discount task, once when hungry and once when full.
The purpose of this research was to investigate 5 different formulations of whole grain barley and refined white rice against a control of white bread on post-prandial glycemic response, as well as self-reported hunger/satiety in a randomized cross-over trial.
World's population over 60 years old is increasing rapidly. It is expected that in 2050 elderly population will be 22% of the total population, representing around 2 billion people. This situation means a rising in the incidence of elderly-related diseases, and thereby the need for long-term care. Reduction in body fat and weight are a common problem among the institutionalized elderly. Some factors that contribute to the anorexia of aging are decreased perception of hunger and increased satiation. This represents an increased risk of developing cachexia even during minor illnesses. The potentially severe consequences of anorexia of aging a greater understanding of the underlying mechanism of these changes is highly important. Intraesophageal and intragastric infusion of 20mg/kg lidocaine results in an increase in food intake in Wistar rats. All infusions were done 30 minutes before the start of the meal intake (meal consisted of mealworms). It may be possible to decrease satiation, increase hunger, and hence food intake in elderly individuals through gastric infusion of the anesthetics lidocaine or benzocaine. In the future this study could potentially contribute to improve food intake in elderly vulnerable of losing body weight. Therefore, the current study aims to investigate the effect of intragastric administration of lidocaine on food intake, satiety/satiation and gastrointestinal complaints.
Perioperative intravenous fluid (IV) administration has been the standard procedure since 1832 and, is a widely used practice sometimes under inadequate criteria. The present work aims at verifying the clinical need that justifies the common IV fluid prescription on the postoperative (PO) period in patients undergoing videolaparoscopic cholecystectomy (CVL) elective.
Participants will be exposed to 3 conditions, in random order: 1. A Facebook page where 70% of posts are related to food. 2. A Facebook page where only 20% of posts are related to food. 3. A control condition (colouring quietly). During each of the above conditions participants will be provided with identical snacks. The snacks will be weighed before and after each condition, to determine whether there is a change in food intake across the 3 conditions.
Reducing the glycaemic load (GL) of the diet may benefit appetite control but its utility is complicated by psychological influences on eating. Disinhibited behaviour, a risk factor for overconsumption, is characterized by reduced prefrontal cortex activity, which in turn directly modulates vagal tone; a phenomenon inversely associated with blood glucose (BG) and insulin levels. This double blind randomised controlled trial explores the influence of disinhibited eating and vagal tone (heart rate variability) on the postprandial response to GL and hunger.
The goals of the The Building Wealth and Health Network (The Network) are to develop and rigorously test an asset building model that will build financial, social and human capital through asset building, financial education and trauma-informed peer support. Program components include: 1) Matched savings accounts; 2) Financial literacy classes; and 3) Peer support groups using the Sanctuary ® trauma-informed approach to social services. This program is offered in partnership with the Department of Public Welfare of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The program elements will fulfill work requirements for the program called temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). The hypothesis is that the program's combination of services will result in improved economic security through boosting income, increasing assets, and building a supportive social network, that then translates to better health outcomes.
The purpose of the study is to investigate the effect of television viewing on liking of food.
The purpose of the study is to obtain a better understanding of how hydrolysed porcine proteins affect the human metabolism, including the effects on muscle protein synthesis, appetite and secretion of gastrointestinal hormones. It is hypothesised that hydrolysed porcine proteins will stimulate muscle protein synthesis, affect appetite and the secretion of gastrointestinal hormones similar to hydrolysed whey protein.
This study investigates nutrition bar consumption and possible impact on self-reported ratings of hunger and fullness compared to a control.
