The current study aims to investigate the effect of a) caloric restriction (very low calorie diet (VLCD)); b) caloric restriction with mechanical restriction and physiological changes through malapsorption (Roux- en- Y bypass (RYGB) surgery); and c…
In this study, we will test which of two feeding strategies for adults during chemotherapy-induced mucositis is optimal with regards to maintaining an optimal body weight, nutritional status, gut mucosal barrier and treatment outcome (including…
Our primary objective is to compare pre-treatment with the standard low calorie diet with pre-treatment with supplemental omega-3 fatty acids on liver volume. Secondary objectives are patient satisfaction about different dietary pre-treatments, the…
To demonstrate differences in neuronal structure and neuronal function in brain regions that control eating behaviour between obese and normal weight adolescents.
To investigate responses of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) and facial expressions to sensory-specific satiety.
The proposed randomized controlled lifestyle intervention studies the effects of an exercise and nutrition intervention in the first year after transplantation on: 1. Exercise capacity, muscle strength, diet, quality of life and social participation…
We propose that there will be a link between taste sensitivity and overall metabolic function. We hypothesize that non-tasters, medium-tasters and super-tasters will have different levels of metabolic hormones in their general circulation. Our study…
The aim of this study is to assess differences between lean and morbidly obese subjects in gut permeability, gut microbiota and mucosal inflammation and to assess the effects of weight loss after sleeve gastrectomy on gut permeability, microbiota…
The aim of this study is to evaluate compliance with two different ONS formats in hospitalised geriatric patients with (or at risk of) malnutrition.
Objective: The primary objective is to evaluate if %EWL after LSG as bariatric therapy is equal or, within an acceptable margin, inferior to LRYGB. Secondary objectives are to evaluate QOL, cure /improvement of obesity related co-morbidity (i.e. DM-…
To investigate whether the rate of gastric emptying differs between a low viscosity milk product and an iso-caloric high viscosity milk product.
The objective is to describe the nature and underlying (neuromuscular en biomechanical) factors of dysphagia in different neuromuscular diseases in relation to different consistencies of food. Identifying the contributing factors are starting points…
Primary Objective: To study the effect of VNS on BAT activity.Secondary Objective(s): Measure the effect of VNS on energy expenditure, core temperature, skin surface temperature and skin perfusion during active and absent stimulation.Follow the…
Primary Objective: To investigate the association between the weight-loss-induced cellular stress response and the rate of weight regain. Secondary Objective: To investigate the difference in cellular stress response and weight regain after rapid…
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of an extensive eSupported lifestyle program in reducing physical risk factors.
The primary goal of the proposed study is to investigate striatal D2R levels and eating behavior before and after dopamine depletion in order to build knowledge on the interactions between the brain reward system and overeating behaviour. This will…
The objectives of this proposal are1. to compare the effects and costs of two intensive one-year interventions in severely obese children and adolescents of which the first six months are different with respect to the length of hospitalization;…
The aim of the study is first to develop knowledge concerning underlying mechanisms that can explain the relationship between obesity and asthma.
This study focuses on visceral overweight and stress, related to intake of highly rewarding foods and food choice. The main objective of the study is determination of the effects of consumption of highly rewarding high protein/fat foods compared…
To determine 1) the differences in the effects of food stimuli on the activation of brain regions associated with energy homeostasis and reward between women with chronic AN, women recovered from AN and healthy normal-weight women, 2) the…
