Filter by:The primary cause of being overweight is an imbalance in calories consumed and energy expenditure. A surplus in energy intake might result in body fat deposition and thereby body weight gain. Therefore, food intake regulation is crucial to control the body weight gain. Appetite regulation plays an important role in determining the food intake, which is a complex process influenced by the individual (physiology and psychology) and environment. Satiation (process that leads to the termination of eating) and satiety (decline in hunger, increase in fullness after a meal has finished) are the precursors of appetite regulation, which may be induced by various food components such as macronutrients, water, alcohol and non-digestible polysaccharides. High viscosity and swellable/bulking food components such as dietary fibre are expected to elicit stronger satiation/satiety than the macronutrients or clear liquid. Due to its unique physicochemical properties, dietary fibre has been recognized as potential ingredient that helps to enhance the sensation of satiety in the upper gut by increasing gastric distension and delaying gastric emptying, which subsequently reduces the food intake. IQP-AK-102 comprises of a proprietary blend of dietary fibres known to promote a feeling a fullness. The objectives of this study are to evaluate the efficacy and safety of IQP-AK-102 on appetite reduction in overweight subjects during a 4-weeks interval.
Dairy products have a potential to be healthy snack foods for children. The purpose of this project is to investigate the short-term effects of Greek yogurt, a new popular dairy product on the regulation of glucose homeostasis, satiety and energy intake in normal weight and overweight/obese children.
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.
The purpose of this study is to measure energy intake and energy expenditure during and after pregnancy. The investigators hypothesize that obese pregnant women with weight gain above the Institute of Medicine (IOM) guidelines, 'High Gainers', will have increased energy intake but no evidence for changes in energy expenditure after adjustment for the weight gained when compared to women with appropriate gestational weight gain, 'Normal Gainers'. Additionally, the investigators will measure the babies born to the pregnant women enrolled in MomEE at one time point before 10 days of life.
