NCT00709839

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of hydrocortisone on glucose-induced insulin secretion and sensitivity, by means of an intravenous glucose tolerance test with frequent sampling (FSIGT) followed by minimal model analysis. In a randomized single-blind cross-over design, the subjects will receive either hydrocortisone or placebo 4 minutes before an intravenous glucose load.
