NCT ID NCT07627802
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at how levels of ghrelin, a hormone that controls hunger, change after eating a standardized meal in 80 adults aged 40-60 with different body weights. Participants drank a nutritional supplement, and their blood was tested over several hours. The goal was to understand if people with obesity have different appetite hormone responses compared to those with normal weight.
