Beskrivelse
Inclusion Criteria:
- Men and women age 20-55 years old
- BMI 30-50 kg/m2
- Willing to undergo 10 week supervised VLCD
Exclusion Criteria:
- Obesity due to a known secondary cause (Cushing's syndrome, hypothyroidism, etc) or a history of weight loss surgery
- Subjects who have a known history of diabetes, fasting blood sugar >125 mg/dl or using any anti-diabetic drugs
- Changes in lipid lowering or anti-hypertensive regimen within 3 months of screening
- Hemoglobin <10 g/dL, Creatinine >1.5 mg/dL
- QT interval >440 ms on EKG
- Subjects with unstable psychiatric conditions as assessed by a psychologist
- Allergy or intolerance to components of the mixed meal challenge
Additional contraindications to receive transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS):
- Personal or family history of seizures, epilepsy or other unexplained loss of consciousness.
- Current or past history of skin disease or damaged skin on the scalp at the site of stimulation (i.e. eczema, skin with ingrown hairs, acne, razor nicks, wounds that have not healed, recent scar tissue, broken skin, etc.).
- Prior neurosurgical procedure or radiation treatment to the brain.
- Known diagnosis of brain lesions, such as tumor, stroke or multiple sclerosis
- Implanted pacemaker, medication pump, vagal stimulator, deep brain stimulator, TENS unit, ventriculoperitoneal shunt or any metallic implant on the head.
(Note: Intake of centrally acting medications will be allowed, as there is no evidence that any medication can increase the risk of adverse effects during tDCS.)
- Subject is currently enrolled in another investigational device or drug trial(s), or subject has received other investigational agent(s) within 28 days of baseline visit
- Any condition judged by the patient's physician to cause this clinical trial to be detrimental to the patient

Tidsramme |
|---|---|---|
|
Change in weight from week 11 to 26
Tidsramme: Week 11 to 26
|
Patients will be placed on a very low calorie diet from baseline to week 11.
The primary end point is the maintenance of weight loss from week 11 to week 26 after the very low calorie diet is stopped.

Change in appetite hormones on mixed meal challenge test
Tidsramme: Week 0 to 8, 11 and 26
|
Appetite hormones such as ghrelin change in response to nutrition.
Dieting increases ghrelin and decreases other appetite hormones.
We will assess if the brain modulation intervention will prevent the dieting induced increase in ghrelin and changes in other appetite hormones.

Change in appetite
Tidsramme: Week 0 to 8, 11, 18 and 26
|
Degree of hunger (or satiety) can be assessed by use of visual analog scale and monitoring food intake diaries and questionnaires.
We will assess if the brain modulation intervention can prevent the diet induced increases in appetite using the visual analog scale, food diary and questionnaires.

Week 0 to 8, 11, 18 and 26

|
Change in body composition
Tidsramme: Week 0 to 8 and 26
|
Weight loss can affect both fat mass and muscle (lean) mass.
We will assess if the weight loss by low-calorie diet and weight maintenane facilitated by brain modulation will preferentially affect fat mass or lean mass by use of dual energy X-ray absorptiometry.
|
Week 0 to 8 and 26
|
|
Change in metabolic parameters
Tidsramme: Week 0 to 8, 11, 18, 26
|
Weight loss and successful weight loss maintenance can improve insulin resistance (risk for diabetes mellitus) and cholesterol profile.
We will assess the changes in risk for diabetes and cholesterol from the low-calorie diet and brai modulation mediated weight maintenance.
