Bile Acid-induced GLP-secretion. A Study in Cholecystectomized Subjects

Completed
Conditions
Diabetes
Registration Number
NCT01251510
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Gentofte, Copenhagen
Brief Summary

PURPOSE

The goal of the present project is to unravel the importance of bile acid-induced GLP-1 secretion (via the G protein-coupled receptor TGR5) in human physiology.

In the present study the investigators examine the GLP-1 secretion in healthy subjects and cholecystectomised patients. Thereby the investigators aim to show, that cholecystectomised patients have reduced bileflow after a meal, and as a consequence exhibit a diminished GLP-1 response as compared to healthy subjects.
