Brain Responses to Visual Food Cues in Response to a Low Carbohydrate Diet

NCT03077074 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 40

Last updated 2017-03-21

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim is to profile and elucidate the hormonal and neurological system interaction to food related behavior. The stimulus used will include visual and taste (gustatory) stimuli. The study will profile induced correlations of metabolic parameters, gut hormones and brain region (ROI - regions of interest) activation and interaction. In this study we will use fMRI (functional MRI) to compare brain responses in obese, normal-weight and reduced weight subjects. The food stimuli will be blocked into specific categories to allow for investigation of different responses to alternating energy density foods. The response will be tested prior to and following a brief low carbohydrate dietary regimen.

Conditions

  • Changes in Functional MRI

Interventions

OTHER

low carbohydrate consumption

consumption of up to 60 grams of carbohydrate a day for 10 days FMRI will be performed prior and after the intervention during the luteal cycle phase
