NCT03447561 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 20

Last updated 2018-02-27

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study aims to disentangle the relative contribution of the anticipatory (food images) versus consummatory (food administration) component of dopamine release to food reward, by performing simultaneous Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Magnetic Resonance (MR) scanning. Additionally, this study aims to assess the relationship of the dopamine release with (changes in) metabolic hormone levels.
