Physical Inactivity and Appetite Regulation

Официальное название

The Effects of Inactivity on GLP-1 Stimulated Appetite Regulation in Healthy Normal Weight Males: A Randomised, Parallel Group Study

Обзор

The goal of this parallel-group, two-arm, assessor-blinded, randomised clinical trial is to investigate the effects of reducing physical activity on food intake and satiety in physically active and healthy males, 40-55 years of age. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does physical inactivity affect GLP-1 stimulated food intake? * Does physical inactivity affect food preferences, satiety and other mechanisms supporting appetite regulation? Participants will be randomised (1:1) to two weeks of either no intervention (control group) or inactivity. Inactivity will be implemented as cessation of active commuting and all other structured exercise. Furthermore, steps will be reduced to a maximum of 1500 steps/day. Researchers will compare the inactivity group to the control group to see if physical inactivity impairs appetite regulation.

Подробное описание

To contextualize the changes in ad libitum food intake driven by two weeks of physical inactivity, a sub-study will assess the effect of GLP-1 infusion on ad libitum food intake compared with a saline control in 20 participants included based on same eligibility criteria as in the main study. The estimated GLP-1 induced change in ad libitum food intake will be descriptively compared to the estimated GLP-1 + inactivity induced change in ad libitum food intake (main-study) to provide context for any attenuation in appetite suppression observed in the main-study. Outcomes related to subjective appetite measures (hunger, satiety, and food preference) will also be assessed in this way.

The primary hypothesis is that GLP-1 infusion will suppress appetite and reduce ad libitum food intake compared with saline control. The secondary hypothesis is that GLP-1 infusion will diminish subjective feelings of hunger and increase satiety.
