NCT00713440

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether the reduced incretin effect and the paradoxical glucagon responses during oral glucose ingestion and isoglycaemic iv glucose infusion observed in patients with type 2 diabetes are causes (non-inducible in lean healthy subjects without family history of diabetes) or consequences (inducible) of the diabetic state.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Incretin effect before and after dysregulation of glucose homeostasis using high calorie diet, physical inactivity and administration of adrenocortical steroids.

    One year

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • GLP-1 and GIP response curves

    One year

Study Arms (1)

1

EXPERIMENTAL

10 healthy Caucasian subjects without family history of diabetes

Other: Oral glucose test (OGTT); isoglycaemic iv. clamp; liquid meal test; Gastric Emptying Rate; Prednisolone; Paracetamol

Interventions

OGTT: The test is performed with 50 g of glucose deluded in 300 ml. of water. Isoglycaemic iv. clamp: Iv glucose infusion mimicking the glucose response curve of the OGTT. Liquid Meal Test: The test is performed with 100g of formula milk in 300 ml. of water. Gastric Emptying Rate: Paracetamol absorption test. Adrenocortical Steroids: Use of 37,5 mg./day of prednisolone during 10 days

Also known as: Prednisolone, Paracetamol
