Evaluation of Kisspeptin Stimulated Insulin Secretion With Hyperglycemic Clamp

Phase 1
Withdrawn
Conditions
Metabolic Disease
Interventions
Diagnostic Test: Hyperglycemic Clamp
Drug: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT05456854
Lead Sponsor
Massachusetts General Hospital
Brief Summary

The goal of this study is to understand how exogenous kisspeptin affects metabolism by evaluating responses to an hyperglycemic clamp

Detailed Description

Assignment: Each study subject will serve as their own control. The order of the visits will be randomized.

Delivery of Interventions:

Prior to the study visit, subjects will undergo a review of their medical history and screening laboratories.

During the inpatient study, the subjects will

Undergo a 16-hour kisspeptin infusion Undergo a hyperglycemic clamp
