Filter by:Worldwide almost 40% of the adult population is overweight (including >10% obese), and more than 350 million children (up to the age of 19) are overweight. Overweight and obesity are significant problems and important risk factors for several lifestyle-related diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, certain cancers, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Excessive consumption of glucose/sucrose is a major contributor to overweight and obesity. Alternative, low-calorie sweeteners could reduce daily energy intake and thus slow down the development of these conditions and related diseases. (3S,4S,5R)-1,3,4,5,6-pentahydroxy-hexan-2-one is a sweetener that may be suitable for use as a sugar substitute; it is only partially digested in the small intestine and as a result has a lower energy density than more traditional sweeteners such as sucrose. However, it is not yet known to what extent (3S,4S,5R)-1,3,4,5,6-pentahydroxy-hexan-2-one is used in the body and then excreted. The aim of this study is to measure the metabolic utilization (the 'mass balance') of a single dose of 14C-labelled (3S,4S,5R)-1,3,4,5,6-pentahydroxy-hexan-2-one and AMS technology. Based on clinical data of excretion (urine and faeces) and CO2 production (expired air), the mass balance can be derived. These generated results will be used to map the metabolic pathways (3S,4S,5R)-1,3,4,5,6-pentahydroxy-hexan-2-one undergoes during the digestion process. In addition, it will provide insight into the use of AMS technology to investigate the relationship between diet and health.
The present study is a pilot study examining whether long-term sourdough bread consumption reduces energy intake and blood lipids levels over a period of 4 weeks in free-living normalweight and overweight participants.
This study aims to assess the effect of protein on appetite, food intake and gastric emptying in older adults (≥ 65 years) that are more and less active.
Obesity is the outcome of chronic excessive energy intake and reduced energy expenditure leading to energy imbalance. It is a risk factor for many preventable diseases such as metabolic disease and its consequences such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Sedentary adults have been shown to have an increased appetite in excess of energy requirements and adults who are more active are able to better regulate energy intake. It is thought that carbohydrate availability and specifically hepatic glycogen utilisation during exercise is a regulator of appetite. However, the majority of research so far does not support this theory, potentially due to research not examining the tissue-specific link between glycogen use and appetite. The aim of this study is to assess whether altering substrate utilisation during exercise by suppressing lipolysis influences GLP-1 levels and caloric intake post exercise. Additionally, the study will explore if there is a tissue specific link between substrate utilisation and post exercise energy intake and examine potential sex differences.
