Fasting and Postprandial Response After Infusion of Saline, PYY1-36 and PYY3-36 and Effects on Appetite, Energy Intake and Energy Expenditure in Overweight/Obese Compared to Normalweight Subjects

The aim of the study is to compare fasting and postprandial PYY levels between overweight/obese and lean subjects during and after an infusion of saline, PYY1-36 or PYY3-36 and to evaluate the efects on appetite, energy intake and energy expenditure.
