This study evaluates the satiating effect of two types of food supplements made from various types of fibres in the subsequent intake of other foods, in satiety, and in the regulation of hormones
This study assessing the effect on appetite satisfaction and short-term satiety of different plant compositions in the adolescent age segment wants to assess the satiating effect of two types of food supplements made with various types of fibers (inulin, maltodextrins, guar gum and dehydrated plums) in the subsequent intake of other foods, in satiety, and in the regulation of hormones (ghrelin, leptin and insulin) and other peptides involved in the mechanisms of satiety

Assessment of satiety using objective methods (blood analysis)
Biochemistry : glucose, urea, BUN, creatinin (all in mg/dL)
Time frame: Change from week 1 to week 2
Assessment of satiety (blood analysis)
Biochemistry : GOT and GPT (UI/L)
Time frame: Change from week 1 to week 2
Assessment of satiety using a subjective method (visual analogue scale)
The perceived feeling of satiety will be measured using the 100mm "Visual Analogue Scale" labeled at a far end with a "mark" to the left of "extremely hungry", and on the other with an "extremely satiated"."
Time frame: Change from week 1 to week 2
