Beskrivelse
Inclusion Criteria:
- 41 obese adults (BMI 33 kg - 45 kg.)
- 24 lean adults (BMI 18.5 kg - 24.9 kg.)
Exclusion Criteria:
Subjects who are:
- smokers,
- pregnant or lactating, postmenopausal,
- have diabetes or impaired oral glucose tolerance (fasting blood glucose level of < 100 mg/dl and a 2 hour post-glucose challenge plasma glucose level of < 140mg/dl, per ADA criteria; ADA 2004),
- significant organ system dysfunction, anemia (Hb <10 g/dl),
- take medications that could influence the study results, any history of dopamine agonist or antagonist treatment (e.g. neuroleptics or metoclopramide),
- parkinsonism on exam,
- borderline or lower IQ (<80 full scaled score), or
- any psychiatric or neurologic illness (e.g. drug abuse, Parkinson disease, Tourette syndrome, stroke) that could affect the interpretation of the data, compliance or completion of the study will be excluded. Specific psychiatric exclusions are lifetime psychosis, current mania, substance dependence, major depression, social phobia, tic disorders, eating disorders and panic disorder. Dysthymia will not be excluded, but levels of depression will be measured with the BDI for future exploratory analysis.
- Lean subjects will be excluded for being obese in the past (based on maximum BMI not related to pregnancy).

Aktiv komparator: Obese group - Group 1
If you have a BMI between 33kg - 45kg and weight under 350 lbs you could be in group 1.
|
After the screening and scan days are completed, obese subjects will begin a lifestyle intervention program that includes dietary (low-calorie diet) and behavioral education topics.
Treatment will be provided in individual weekly sessions.
Each hour-long session will be led by a behavioral counselor or registered dietitian in the Weight Management Center at Washington University.
The behavioral program will use cognitive-behavioral techniques to foster adherence to diet prescriptions and to build a supportive environment for the participant.
The program will emphasize strategies of self-monitoring and goal-setting, and will include problem-solving, overcoming high-risk situations for unhealthy eating, relapse prevention, and strategies for long-term weight maintenance.
Handouts will be provided for study subjects to allow them to record the setting and reaching of dietary goals, as well as summarize the key points of the educational content.

Foranstaltningsbeskrivelse |
Tidsramme |
|---|---|---|
|
To determine the status of postsynaptic D2-like receptor binding in humans with obesity.
Tidsramme: 1 year for each participant
|
To test this hypothesis, we will measure D2-like receptor binding with PET and a specific, non-competitive D2-like receptor ligand NMB in obese and lean individuals.

Foranstaltningsbeskrivelse |
Tidsramme |
|---|---|---|
|
To determine the relationship between D2-like receptor binding, reward sensitivity and hedonic response to sweet tastes.
Tidsramme: 1 year per participant
|
To test this hypothesis we will correlate D2-like receptor binding levels in the striatum with reward questionnaires and standardized assessments of sweet taste responses within each group.
