Brain activity and appetite research

We are investigating whether walking influences our appetite hormone levels, and whether exercise-induced changes in the hormones correlate with perceptions of appetite, nutritional intake and brain activity in individuals varying in weight status.

We are looking for:

• People aged 18 to 49 years with a BMI greater than 25 kg/m2.
• People aged 50 to 60 years with a BMI between 18.5 kg/m2 and 24.9kg/m2.

This exciting study involves four visits to º£½ÇÉçÇø's NCSEM:

• A treadmill test
• Smell and taste tests
• Blood samples
• fMRI scan of the Brain (functional magnetic resonance imaging).
• Three pizzas to eat before each main trial visit
• Pasta to eat during the main trial visits
• £60 Amazon voucher for participants who complete all main trial visits (to cover time and travel costs).
