The objective of the project is to assess the integrated gut satiety (full feeling) hormone and intestinal microbe response to pulses in the obese gut. The experiments will provide information regarding the effectiveness of pulse fibres in altering gut satiety hormones and gut microbe profiles. This evidence will be invaluable in designing future dietary therapies based on pulses.
