Official title

Effect of Ghrelin on Nutritional and Financial Decision-Making

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

This study evaluates the effect of the "hunger hormone" ghrelin on human decision-making. Participants will be given an injection of ghrelin or saline on different study days and will then be asked to make a series of computer-based decisions. The investigators hypothesize that ghrelin will increase participant's preference for energy-dense foods and will also increase impulsiveness in decision making.
