Insulin Nasal Spray To Reduce Alzheimer's Disease Risk in African Americans

What Is This Study About?

This study will investigate the effect of insulin, by nasal spray, on food intake and Alzheimer's disease risk factors, such as obesity, in African Americans. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either insulin or a placebo by nasal spray before eating a prepared meal. All participants will also provide blood samples to test for APOE, a gene associated with Alzheimer's disease risk. The study involves four visits to the clinic with three provided lunches and some take-home meals. Researchers will measure food intake, hunger, memory and concentration, bone density, muscle, and body fat.
