Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Changes in cerebral blood flow dynamics after administration of glucose solution are compared and examined with or without chewing. All subjects conduct experiments on different days under chewing conditions or control conditions (without chewing). Brain function measurement is performed by functional MRI imaging. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Regarding blood tests, subjects took a total of 7 blood draws before gum chewing (5 minutes before glucose administration in control experiments) and immediately after glucose administration (0), 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 minutes . At that time, the concentrations of glucose, insulin, leptin, ghrelin, PYY (peptide YY), GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide 1), GIP (glucose-dependent secretion stimulating polypeptide), CCK (cholecystokinin) are measured. | — |
