Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

In this study, the investigators aimed at evaluating the role of sweet taste receptors in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). Intragastric administration of glucose, fructose or acesulfame-K were compared with placebo administration for their effects on gastrointestinal motility, gut hormone release (motilin, ghrelin, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and insulin) and hunger feelings.
