Group Intervention Description Enteral fructose with DPP-4 inhibition Tablet Sitagliptin 100mg (evening before and morning of experiments) Enteral fructose + DPP-4 inhibition (sitagliptin) After DPP4 inhibition using Tablet Sitagliptin 100mg on the evening before and on the morning of experimentation enteral fructose is given via an intestinal tube (intrajejunal) to either truncally vagotomised and control individuals. Enteral fructose with DPP-4 inhibition Intestinal Fructose administration Enteral fructose + DPP-4 inhibition (sitagliptin) After DPP4 inhibition using Tablet Sitagliptin 100mg on the evening before and on the morning of experimentation enteral fructose is given via an intestinal tube (intrajejunal) to either truncally vagotomised and control individuals. Enteral fructose without DPP-4 inhibition Intestinal Fructose administration Enteral fructose without DPP-4 inhibition (sitagliptin) After DPP4 inhibition using Tablet Sitagliptin 100mg on the evening before and on the morning of experimentation enteral fructose is given via an intestinal tube (intrajejunal) to either truncally vagotomised and control individuals.
