- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>During euglycemic condition (blood glucose level of ~5.3 mM) the primary<br /><br>glucose levels and the uptake and metabolic rate of 13C-labeled glucose in the<br /><br>brain are determined. The pilot study is finished when all measurements can<br /><br>successfully be performed. In this case the report of the pilot study will be<br /><br>used to design a larger study to develop the 13C-MRS method further and to<br /><br>verify the results.</p><br>
