The effects of intravenous TRH administration on brown adipose tissue activity in healthy, lean men.
To investigate whether BAT tissue can be activated by intravenous administration of TRH. Secondary objectives are to determine whether intravenous TRH increases the degree of cardiovascular sympathetic stimulation and the response of skin…
Primary Objective: to ascertain whether tVNS affect performance (as measured by modulation of reaction times and/or error rates) in two cognitive tasks designed to examine PES and PIA, as well as specific components of pupillary response that will…
Objective: The present study aims to investigate the effects of low glycogen availability on skeletal muscle molecular response after a concurrent exercise day.
The primary objective of this study is to further validate theta/beta ratio (TBR) as a biomarker for PFC-mediated cognitive control by administering caffeine. We hypothesize that caffeine will up-regulate PFC-mediated cognitive control, and thereby…
Primary: To compare postprandial plasma amino acid concentrations after ingestion of a fixed amount of protein from different dairy products in elderly subjectsSecondary: To determine effects of a fixed amount of protein from different dairy…
With the current study we aim to assess early brain responses to different food cues (odours and pictures) and we want to determine how these responses are affected by ad libitum intake of product with a specific flavor (sweet/savoury). We expect to…
To test the hypothesis that the correspondence between orosensation of sweetness and post-oral sensation of calories influences REE, CBF and GE.
We aim to develop a proxy-model of baseline dopamine based on machine learning methods which would provide us with behavioural predictors of the effects of dopaminergic drugs on brain and cognition that maximally generalize to new participants.
Examine the effects of a treatment that consists of different natural ingredients on cognitive performance in young healthy subjects. These effects will be compared with caffeine treatment, a natural ingredient that has been found to improve…
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of both dietary nitrate and sucrose ingestion on splanchnic perfusion and intestinal (enterocyte) damage during high intensity exercise.
Our primary aims are 1) to test with observational and electrophysiological techniques whether intranasal oxytocin administration to mothers of young infants increases their defensive reactivity and protective approach responses in mildly…
To elucidate in the same participants (late chronotypes with at least two hours of social jetlag) the changes in sleep timing, social jetlag and endogenous circadian phase of melatonin with more than two hours of social jetlag shielded from blue…
Therefore, the primary objective of the present study is to investigate whether the hyper/hypoventilation or the strength ventilation technique accounts for the observed increase in plasma adrenaline levels. Furthermore, we want to determine whether…
The primary objective is determining whether adding arm propulsion to regular cycling increases total power output. Secondary objectives are determining differences in cycling efficiency, heart rate, muscle activation, maximal oxygen uptake (V02max…
We aim to investigate whether reinstatement of cortical representations are necessary for successful memory retrieval.
The main objective of this study is to evaluate which urine collection method for non-toilet trained children is most suitable for exposure measurement to pesticides with respect tothe burden and convenience, including ease of use, for infants and…
The primary objective of this study is to assess how selective attention to different food characteristics (calories, taste intensity and pleasantness) affects brain responses during tasting. Secondary objectives are to assess (1) whether taste…
Determine the gastric and neural correlates of bloating.
To determine appetite responses to different odors (signalling different food products), measured by appetite questionnaires, a food preference task, saliva production and food intake
Primary objectives: this study will 1) assess the accuracy of the Cortex MetaLyzer® 3B in adolescents (12-17 yr) for measuring REE, using the Deltatrac® II metabolic monitor as a reference; and 2) assess the accuracy and the within-subject, within-…
