Randomized Controlled TrialEffect of gastric volume or emptying on meal-related symptoms after liquid nutrients in obesity: a pharmacologic study.
Altered postprandial satiation influences food intake in obesity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the contribution of gastric motor functions to intra- and postprandial symptoms in obese, otherwise healthy, people. ⋯ In obese individuals, fasting gastric volumes and gastric emptying, but not postprandial gastric volumes, were associated with intra- and postprandial symptoms. Understanding the determinants of gastric volume may provide insights on mechanisms controlling satiation.
