Obesity

D-allulose (psicose), a C-3 epimer of D-fructose, is defined one of the rare sugars since it is rarely found in nature. Rare sugars are monosaccharides which present in small quantities in commercial mixtures of D-glucose and D-fructose obtained from hydrolysis of sucrose or isomerization of D-glucose (5). D-allulose (psicose) has been demonstrated to be a non-calorie monosaccharide which has approximately 70% sweetness of sucrose. Various physiological activities of D-allulose (psicose) have been revealed. Of those, its glucose suppressive effect has been proven by both animal and clinical studies.

Effects of Processed Meat on Brain Regions Related to Reward and Craving in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes, Obese Subjects and Healthy Controls

fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) of the brain pre- and postprandially simultaneously with both meal tests with the use of the modern method of arterial spin labeling (ASL) which allows quantification of the blood perfusion of the brain regions involved in craving and reward.

We will flush the deceased donor kidney with UW (perfusion solution) + sodium thiosulfate (STS)

Kidney will be flushed with UW (perfusion solution) which is the normal standard of care.

End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD)

The kidney will have 100 mL of 500µM STS added directly to the existing pulsatile perfusion solution at 4°C.

For the purposes of this study we will flush the deceased donor kidney with UW (perfusion solution) or UW + sodium thiosulfate (STS). There will be two groups in the study - UW with or without STS and patients will be randomly assigned to a group in a 1:1 ratio (i.e. 50 in one group and 50 in the other).
