NCT03228602
Brief Summary:
The aim of the study is to compare several parameters in three distinct groups of subjects: persons with obesity, persons with obesity and diabetes and persons with neither obesity nor diabetes:
* the electrical activity in response to a sweet solution, measured before and after a standard meal, using gustatory evoked potentials (recording explained below)
* blood hormone levels related to weight gain (insulin, dopamine, ghrelin, leptin: measured in blood samples)
* levels of activity and quantity of an enzyme present in the saliva, amylase, which is able to break down ingested starch into several molecules of glucose.
All of these parameters will be correlated to determine whether the results are different in the 3 groups of subjects in the study.
