Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Differences in brain activity in rest and brain reactivity (BOLD response) upon oro-sensory exposure to food, between hungry and 50% and 100% sated states (3 repeated measures).

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The secondary outcome of this study is stomach filling (ml) measured by use of MRI at 4 time points (hungry, after drinking till 50% satiation, at the end of the scanning protocol of the 50% sated state, and during the 100% sated state).
