Clinical Trial Summary

Neurotensin (NT) is a gut peptide released postprandially from the small intestine. It is known to exert a range of enterogastrone effects and in animal models it reduces food intake when administered by parenteral routes.

This study investigates whether the anorexic effects of NT suggested by animal studies can be translated.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Ad libitum food intake (ad libitum days) Neurotensin (NT) and saline will be infused on two occasions in random order, double blinded. After 1h of infusion an ad libitum meal will be served. When the meal is completed food intake will be determined by weighing the leftovers. 60 min
Primary Ad libitum food intake (liquid meal + ad libitum days) Neurotensin (NT) and saline will be infused on two occasions in random order, double blinded. 1h into the infusions a standardized liquid mixed meal will be ingested. After another 180 min an ad libitum meal will be served. When the meal is completed food intake will be determined by weighing the leftovers. 240 min
Secondary Appetite and gastrointestinal sensations (ad libitum days) Using visual analogue scales (VAS) the effect of infusions and meals will be documented.
Ad libitum meals will also be evaluated using VAS.
