Effect of Early Time-Restricted Eating on Appetite, Appetite-Regulatory Hormones and Energy Intake
Effect of One Day Early Time-Restricted Eating (eTRE) on Appetite, Appetite-Regulatory Hormones and Energy Intake in Healthy Men Without Obesity
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 16 Apr 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This randomised crossover study's primary aim is to investigate the effect of short-term fasting (eTRE) on subjective appetite and appetite-regulatory hormones (i.e., leptin, adiponectin, total glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP), total peptide YY (PYY), acylated ghrelin and Insulin). In addition, to examine if the one-day early time-restricted eating influences energy expenditure and ad libitum energy intake in the periods following the standard meal test. The researchers will compare normal eating with early Time-Restricted Eating (eTRE) in healthy men.
