Table 3.

Effect of infusion of carbohydrate (glucose or sucrose) into duodenum, jejunum or ileum on energy intake and satiety.

Energy intake in % reduction in caloric intake: = no reduction or increase, ↓ 0–10% reduction, ↓↓ 10–25% reduction, ↓↓↓ > 25% reduction; + 11% * = increase in intake jejunal compared to duodenal infusion [42]. Energy intake reduction is presented as percentage reduction of energy intake as compared to control condition. Satiety: = no reduction or increase, ↑ 0–10% increase, ↑↑ 10–25% increase in satiety
