Supplementation of Gut-brain Axis (GLP-1)-Activating Carbohydrates for Increasing Satiety in Adolescents With Obesity

Sponsor: Indiana University

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

Glucagon-like peptide (GLP1) drugs have quickly become a standard treatment for the adults with obesity. These drugs target the appetite control center of the brain, which clows the rate of stomach emptying, and makes a person feel full. The researchers are exploring this response in children. This study is being conducted to better understand how two food carbohydrates affect the appetite control center of the brain. The investigators want to see if a special carbohydrate powder that is mixed with 1 cup of water twice a day will appetite.
