Pennington Biomedical Study Pays Participants $1,500 To Help Researchers Understand Weight Loss
from Mornings with Brian Haldane · host Guaranty Broadcasting Company
Pennington Biomedical Research Center is looking for volunteers for a new weight loss study called DEIP. Participants spend about five days in a metabolic chamber while researchers track how the body burns calories during normal eating, fasting and refeeding. The study focuses on people ages 18 to 40 with a BMI below 20 or above 30, and participants can earn $1,500. Researchers hope the data helps them better understand weight regulation and improve future work with GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro.
