““Impact of adaptative gastric electrical stimulation on weight, food intake, and food intake rate in dogs”
This article is available HERE
Gastric electrical stimulation (GES) has been studied for decades as a promising treatment for obesity. Stimulation pulses with fixed amplitude and pulse width are usually applied, but these have limitations with regard to overcoming habituation to GES and inter-subject variation.
This study aims to analyze the efficacy of an adaptive GES protocol for reducing food intake and maintaining lean weight in dogs.
Adaptive GES is effective for reducing food intake and maintaining lean weight.
The proposed adaptive strategy may offer benefits to counter habituation and adapt to inter-subject variation in clinical use of GES for obesity.
