The Effects of L-arabinose in a Meal in Healthy Men

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Glucose Metabolism
Interventions
Dietary Supplement: L-arabinose - effect on glucose metabolism
Registration Number
NCT01801540
Lead Sponsor
University of Copenhagen
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of a meal containing different doses of L-arabinose, on the intestinal sucrase activity after intake We measure this by measuring the glucose, insulin and c-peptide after meals. Other measurements are made (glucagon and GLP-1) to explain the correlations.
