Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Average percent signal change of the top 20% of activated voxels (AvgPSC20) during the fasted condition over six primary brain regions of interest (ROI)

    Day 1

Secondary Outcomes (7)

  • Intraclass coefficient of correlation of the AvgPSC20 assessed during the fed and fasted conditions over the six ROIs

    Day 1

  • Regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) during the fasted condition with placebo or sibutramine in the six ROIs

    Day 1

  • AvgPSC20 in the fed condition with placebo or sibutramine in the six ROIs

    Day 1

  • Difference in PSC20 during fasted and fed conditions with placebo or sibutramine in the six ROIs

    Day 1

  • rCBF during the fed condition with placebo or sibutramine in the six ROIs

    Day 1

  • +2 more secondary outcomes
