NCT ID NCT02028975
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at how tasting fatty acids (like linoleic acid) changes levels of gut hormones in healthy people, those with type 2 diabetes, and obese individuals without diabetes. Researchers measured hormone levels in blood after oral stimulation and compared taste sensitivity between groups. The goal was to find biological markers linked to fat taste perception.
