NCT01400191

Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to evaluate the pharmacodynamic impact of metformin in healthy Caucasian volunteers with and without single polymorphisms M420del or R61C in OCT1, thus the study hypothesis is that metformin only affect the hepatic gluconeogenesis in healthy volunteers with functional OCT1-transporters.

Interventions

The study was designed as a randomized, cross-over trial with a washout period of at least 4 weeks between the phases. In both phases, the volunteers fasted for 42 h. This was done in order to include an evaluation of the pharmacodynamic effect of metformin on the glucose production in fasting healthy volunteers.
