The Effects of Puberty and Weight on Sugar Metabolism in Children

Completed

Conditions studied: Overweight, Leanness, Adolescent

In brief

Our goal is to investigate how hormones that control blood sugar, hunger, and stomach emptying change with puberty and being overweight. These substances change with a meal. * For this, we need to compare lean and overweight children. * We need to study them before and during puberty. * All children in the study will be tested before and after a liquid meal.
