Brief Summary:
To assess the effect of inulin on appetite profile ratings, food intake and satiety hormones.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Obesity Dietary Supplement: inulin Dietary Supplement: placebo Not Applicable

Detailed Description:
Based upon a slower digestion and the fermentation in the intestinal tract, food containing soluble dietary fibres, such as inulin, is hypothesized to be more satiating, and to limit energy intake, in humans. Does supplementation of inulin (at 2 dosages) versus placebo over 13 consecutive days in normal to overweight men and women, lead to an increase in satiety, a reduction in food intake and stronger postprandial increases in GLP-1 and PYY?
