Brief Summary
The two pancreatic hormones amylin and pancreatic polypeptide (PP) has been linked to satiety and energy metabolism. The goal of this this study is to determine the separate and combined effects of the two hormones on food intake and other exploratory endpoints related to metabolism in healthy humans. The aim of this study is to investigate the interaction between the hormones and obtain insight into the physiology of the hormones. The healthy participants will undergo 4 study days in a randomised order receiving the following infusions for 5 hours: A) Amylin + PP B) Amylin + Placebo C) Placebo + PP D) Placebo + Placebo Throughout the day blood samples will be collected and gallbladder motility will be evaluated. Further, indirect calorimetry and heart rate/blood pressure measurement will be performed.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Food intake
Difference in food intake during an ad libitum meal. Food intake is examined as kalories (kcal) of food eaten during the ad libitum meal.
300 to 330 minutes
Secondary Outcomes (2)
Composite appetite score
-30 min to 330
Sensations of hunger, satiety, fullness, prospective food intake, nausea, thirst, comfort
-30 to 330 minutes

PLACEBO COMPARATORInterventions
This a one of the pancreatic hormones investigated in this study. Pramlintide is used a surrogate for amylin due to the fibrillating properties of amylin
