Food Intake and Intra-Nasal Insulin for African American Adults (FIINAAL)

Summary

The purpose of this research study is to investigate brain insulin's relationship with food intake in African Americans. Facilitating insulin's entrance into the brain through a nasal spray is currently being studied as a way to prevent or treat Alzheimer's disease. However, brain insulin may also have an impact on food intake. This study is designed to help researchers understand how different factors related to Alzheimer's disease (i.e. APOE genotype and cognitive functioning) influence brain insulin's relationship with food intake.
