Investigating Digestion of Macronutrients in Healthy and Obese Volunteers
15 December 2020
The Section of Endocrinology and Investigative Medicine at the Hammersmith Hospital, London is studying the effect of meals of varying nutrient content on appetite.
We are looking for obese volunteers to take part in this study.
This study will involve a 4-day stay in our research facility, where you will complete a variety of questionnaires, have blood taken, and to monitor how people digest food, tubes will be inserted through the nose to allow sampling of gut contents.
