Randomized Controlled Trial
Meal size can be decreased in obese subjects through pharmacological acceleration of gastric emptying (The OBERYTH trial).
Entry of nutrients into the small intestine activates neuro-hormonal signals that regulate food intake through induction of satiation. ⋯ Meal size can be reduced in overweight/obese subjects by pharmacologically accelerating GE. This may be a reasonable target in obesity management.
