The Effects of Fiber on Appetite and Digestion Hormones

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Psychological Phenomena and Processes, Nutrition Physiological Phenomena

In brief

In this research study, investigators are interested in how certain dietary fibers in the diet affect certain hormones released from your intestine after eating and how these influence your appetite. The study hypothesis is that certain fibers will slow digestion and absorption of nutrients thereby optimizing fullness,reducing food intake and limiting insulin response in pre- and post-menopausal women.
