Study Summary
There are many substances naturally present in the mouth that may help us taste fat in food. Two of these substances (lipases and CD36) will be examined in this study. The presence of fat in food increases food tastiness, therefore people often over-eat high-fat foods and gain weight. The purpose of this study is to determine if blocking lipases and some genetic variations in the CD36 gene will make fatty food less tasty so that people eat less. Our hypothesis is that Orlistat and a particular gene will increase one's ability to detect fat.
Primary Outcome
We will measure oleic acid detection levels as a marker of subjects' ability to detect free fatty acids. Oleic acid taste detection thresholds were separately assessed using a three-alternative forced-choice (i.e. 3-AFC) ascending concentration.
