Summary
The intervention in this study consists of 75-minute intraduodenal infusions of isosmotic solutions containing either saline (control), L-tryptophan, or calcium combined with L-tryptophan. Participants enrolled into the study will receive, in a randomised, double-blind fashion either (i) saline (control), (ii) L-tryptophan at a rate of 0.1 kcal/minute, (iii) combination of L-tryptophan (0.1 kcal/minute) + 500 mg calcium, or (iv) combination of L-tryptophan (0.1 kcal/minute) + 1000 mg calcium in four separate sessions, each of which will be separated by at least 4 (and up to 10) days. Each study session will be 4-6 hours. Studies will be carried out in the Clinical Research Facility of the Adelaide Medical School, the University of Adelaide, by staff and students trained in the required techniques.
