Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Plasma concentrations of gluco-regulatory and gut hormones (Insulin, GLP-1, CCK, glucagon, ghrelin, PYY). <br>This outcome is of an exploratory nature so that specific gastrointestinal hormones to be measured may be decided upon based on the effect of the intervention on this and other outcomes, therefore, this is a composite outcome.[Samples will be collected at t = -10, 0 , 10, 20 , 30 , 45, 60 , 75 , 90, 120 min, where t = -10 is prior to quinine administration and t = 0 is immediately post-administartion. ];Antropyloroduodenal motility (number of antral, duodenal and isolated pyloric pressure waves, and basal pyloric pressure) will be measured using a 17-channel manometric assembly (Dentsleeve, Mui Scientific).<br>This outcome is of an exploratory nature so that specific motility parameters to be measured may be decided upon based on the effect of the intervention on this and other outcomes, therefore, this is a composite outcome.[Baseline (t = -10 - 0) and after administration (t = 0 -120). ]
