OPBIM Trial Summary

"This trial will investigate if having at least one parent with obesity compared to having two parents without obesity affects how protein intake can help control food intake."

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with a family history of obesity, specifically those who have at least one parent who had obesity in adulthood. It aims to understand if protein intake can help control food consumption compared to people whose parents did not have obesity.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing the effects of consuming Ensure (a nutritional drink) versus water on food intake and brain responses related to appetite and satiety in participants with different family histories of obesity.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since the interventions include common products like Ensure and water, side effects are minimal but may include digestive discomfort or allergic reactions to ingredients in Ensure for those sensitive.
