Studies of the Early Meal Phase in Healthy Individuals - Nutrient Absorption and Gastrointestinal Hormone Secretion

Not Applicable
Conditions
Healthy
Interventions
Other: Oral glucose tolerance test
Other: Liquid mixed meal test
Registration Number
NCT03543423
Lead Sponsor
University of Copenhagen
Brief Summary

To investigate gastrointestinal hormone secretions and nutrient absorption during the early meal phase we will recruit 12 healthy young men. They will be equipped with peripheral intravenous catheters for frequent blood sampling. Participants will be screened and acclimatised to the study situation on visit 1. On visit 2 and 3 participants will in random order ingest an oral glucose solution or a standardised liquid mixed meal over 2-3 min.
