Appetite Suppression Effects of an Herbal Combination of Yerba maté, Guarana, Damiana (YGD), and 12 Other Herbal Components, Versus YGD Supplementation Alone

Assessment of subjective appetite sensations (visual analogue scales (VAS)) at time 0 (baseline - prior to the test meal) and at time 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180 and 240 minutes post intake.
Measured subjective appetite sensations of hunger, satiety, prospective consumption, fullness, composite appetite score.

Assessment of subjective appetite sensations (visual analogue scales (VAS)) at time 0 (baseline - prior to the test meal) and at time 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180 and 240 minutes post intake.
Measured subjective sensory desires for something sweet, salty, rich in fat, or meat/fish

A venflon catheter was secured into the participants' antecubital vein, and a blood sample was taken (baseline). Immediately after the subjects were served the test compound (2 capsules). Blood samples were taken at 15 and 30 minutes after intake of the test compound (2 capsules). After 30 minutes post test compound consumption (time 0), the subjects were given a standard breakfast (2.0 MJ: bun with cheese, yoghurt, 200 ml orange juice). Additional blood samples were taken 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180 and 240 minutes post-meal

240 min after each test meal an ad libitum meal was served, and the total energy intake was recorded

After completion of the adlibitum meal the subjects will rate the organoleptic quality of the meal by visual analogue scales (VAS) in regard to appearance, smell, taste, after-taste, and general palatability.

After completion of the ad libitum meal the subjects will rate the subjective appetite sensations by visual analogue scales (VAS) in regard to sensation of hunger, satiety, prospective consumption, fullness, composite appetite score and sensory desires to eat something sweet, salty, rich in fat, or meat/fish.

body weight will be measured to the nearest 0.05 kg on a decimal scale.

heart rate were measured using an automatically inflating cuff.

blood pressure were measured using an automatically inflating cuff.

Body composition will be assessed by electric bioimpedance using an Animeter.

The flow mediated vasodilation is a non-invasive diagnostic test using high-resolution doppler ultrasound, that measures the changes in diameter of the brachial artery in response to increased blood flow (reactive hyperemia).
The plasma levels of nitrites/nitrates will be determined by immunoassay (R&D Systems, Inc)

During the initial and follow-up visits, a blood sample will be taken to determine C-reactive protein by high sensitivity chemiluminescent immunometric assay (IMMULITE 1000, DPC, Los Angeles, CA) and Interleukin-6 by immunoassay (Biosource International, Camarillo, CA)

Blood samples will be taken at the initial and follow-up visits (12,24 weeks) to determine blood glucose by automatic colorimetric method (Baker System 9120 AX, Biochem Immunosystem, Allentown, PA)and insulin plasma levels by high sensitivity chemiluminescent immunometric assay (IMMULITE 1000, DPC, Los Angeles, CA).

Anthropometric measures will be determined at the initial and follow-up visits (12,24 weeks).

Blood samples will be taken at the initial and follow-up visits (12,24 weeks) to determine adiponectin by Human Adiponectin/Acrp30 Quantikine ELISA (R&D Systems, USA)
