Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to look at how a two-week use of a medication called Olanzapine might change appetite, physical activity, resting metabolic rate, body composition, and weight in healthy men.

Physical Activity as Measured Using a Physical Activity Monitorbaseline and 2 week treatmentChange from baseline in physical activity. Physical activity was measured using an activity monitor that subjects wore around their waist throughout baseline and treatment days. Subjects were instructed to remove the monitor when sleeping or engaging in water-based activities, and to report on a daily log the times that they were wearing and removing the device. Physical activity was monitored during weekdays and weekend days. Physical activity data were collected in 60-second epochs. The results are reported as average counts per day of physical activity for weekdays and weekend days at baseline and 2 week treatment.

Therefore, not all study participants who completed the study got the Body Composition assessment done. Only 3 participants in the Placebo Group and 6 participants in the Olanzapine Group got the Body Composition assessment done.

Physical Activity as Measured Using a Physical Activity Monitor

Change from baseline in physical activity. Physical activity was measured using an activity monitor that subjects wore around their waist throughout baseline and treatment days. Subjects were instructed to remove the monitor when sleeping or engaging in water-based activities, and to report on a daily log the times that they were wearing and removing the device. Physical activity was monitored during weekdays and weekend days. Physical activity data were collected in 60-second epochs. The results are reported as average counts per day of physical activity for weekdays and weekend days at baseline and 2 week treatment.

Time frame: baseline and 2 week treatment

Population: Due to poor participant's compliance with the study requirements for physical activity data collection, the data from 4 participants from the olanzapine group could not be used for analysis purpose.
