Effect of Quinine Hydrochloride in Overweight Population on Food Intake, Hunger and Gut Peptide Release
The Effect of Quinine Hydrochloride on Hedonic Food Intake, Appetite-related Sensations and Gastrointestinal Hormone Release in Overweight Female Subjects
About This Trial
The worldwide increase in the prevalence of obesity is a cause of great concern. Pharmacological treatment options are being explored at the moment with a major focus on the hormones produced by the gastrointestinal tract which regulate hunger and satiation/satiety. Modulating the release of these hormones via bitter substances reduced appetite-related sensations and gastrointestinal motility in lean female volunteers. Intragastric administration of a quinine-solution has shown to decrease hunger sensations in healthy female volunteers. Now, we want to examine whether this effect is still seen in an overweight female population.
