Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

60 grams of fat plus water solution

In the group with 10 volunteers with obesity, some of them are submitted first to the 60 grams of fat plus water solution (meal challenge) and in another time to only water.

Also, in the group with 10 volunteers without obesity, some of them are submitted first to the 60 grams of fat plus water solution (meal challenge) and in another time to only water.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

60 grams of fat plus water solution

Intervention Type OTHER

A solution composed by 60 grams of fat and water at ambient temperature is administered to each volunteer, being of the with obesity group or the without obesity group, as follow:

* 300 mL final volume of the solution.
* Time of oral ingestion inferior than 2 minutes.
* 60 minutes before the radiopharmaceutical injection.
* 12 hours fasting minimum.

Pure water

Intervention Type OTHER

Pure water at ambient temperature is administered to each volunteer, being of the with obesity group or the without obesity group, as follow:

* 300 mL final volume of the solution.
* Time of oral ingestion inferior than 2 minutes.
* 30 minutes before the radiopharmaceutical injection.
* 12 hours fasting minimum.

Pure water.

In the same group with 10 volunteers with obesity, some of them are submitted first to only water (control) and in another time to the 60 grams of fat plus water solution (meal challenge).

Also, in the same group with 10 volunteers without obesity, some of them are submitted first to only water (control) and in another time to the 60 grams of fat plus water solution (meal challenge).
