Importance of Meal Fat Content and Gall Bladder Emptying for Postprandial GLP-1 Secretion in Type 2 Diabetes Patients

Completed
Conditions
Diabetes
Registration Number
NCT01374594
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Gentofte, Copenhagen
Brief Summary

PURPOSE

The goal of the present project is to unravel the importance of bile acid-induced GLP-1 secretion (via the G protein-coupled receptor TGR5) in human physiology.

In the present study the investigators examine the GLP-1 secretion in healthy subjects and in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) patients. The investigators hypothesize that patients with T2DM of relatively long duration will be characterized by reduced gall bladder emptying, and, consequently, reduced intestinal TGR5 activation; resulting in attenuated postprandial GLP-1 responses (primary endpoint).
