Examination of Metabolic Determinants of Behavior and Motivation in Obesity: Implication to the Development of New Strategies for Achieving Body Weight Health
This study will be a cross-sectional study. The primary aim of this study is to compare the
relationship between neurological function, metabolic measures and health-related behaviors
between normal weight and overweight/obese perimenopausal women.
To examine physiological and behavioral factors that may help determine health in
perimenopausal middle age women. Neuroendocrine function will be measured by broad
assessment of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) activity. We will also assess metabolic
profiles and behavioral and emotional function. We plan to determine correlations between
these measures and nutritional state. Other measures may include insulin, glucose, leptin,
IGF-1, triglycerides, free fatty acids, and ghrelin and eating attitudes and physical
reactivity.
