Role of Dopamine Transporter in Glucose Control

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Obesity
Interventions
Other: Glucose injection/Normal saline injection
Registration Number
NCT03466697
Lead Sponsor
Pusan National University Hospital
Brief Summary

Healthy subjects will be enrolled in this study. Each subject will be scanned twice with F18-FP-CIT PET which is commercially available. F18-FP-CIT reflects dopamine transporter availability of striatum. Before each PET scan, subject will be injected either glucose or normal saline. Therefore, PET scan will reflect the changes of dopamine transporter availability after the injection of glucose.
