Obesity Clinical Trial - Effect of Ghrelin on Decision-Making

Status Withdrawn

Clinical Trial Summary

This study evaluates the effect of the "hunger hormone" ghrelin on human decision-making. Participants will be given an injection of ghrelin or saline on different study days and will then be asked to make a series of computer-based decisions. The investigators hypothesize that ghrelin will increase participant's preference for energy-dense foods and will also increase impulsiveness in decision making.

Clinical Trial Description

Ghrelin is a hormone made by the stomach that stimulates hunger and feeding behavior. How ghrelin affects human decision-making is poorly understood. This study will investigate the effect of ghrelin on nutrition-related and time-based decisions in humans. Participants eye movements will be tracked by a computer during the decision-making process. ;
