Summary

This study aims to assess the influence of sensory stimulation on diet-induced energy expenditure by way of a clinical cross-over trial in 24 healthy participants either receiving a meal bolus with (orally) and without sensory stimulation (nasogastric-tube).

Conditions

  • Diet-induced Thermogenesis
  • Sensory Function

Interventions

PROCEDURE

sensory exposure

Administration of a full meal orally ("regular eating") in study visit A

PROCEDURE

sensory deprivation

Administration of a full meal via nasogastric tube in study visit B (thereby masking it from the senses)
