The Gut-brain Axis: a Novel Target for Treating Behavioral Alterations in Obesity
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating PhosphoLean and Placebo for Neural Response in Caudate and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 100 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The aims of this project are to determine if dietary supplementation with NOPE-EGCG (PhosphoLeantm, 30mg NOPE+20mg EGCG per capsule) can: * rescue striatal function, * increase adherence to a diet, * reduce weight-gain after a diet, * improve performance on impulsivity, go/no-go tasks, and negative outcome learning, and * shift fat and sweet preference in overweight/obese human subjects Secondary hypotheses: Baseline brain; perceptual and cognitive measures will be associated with diet, insulin sensitivity and may vary with genotype (TaqA1 1A polymorphism).
