Not Applicable
Conditions
PostPrandial Hypotension
Interventions
Other: Intravenous infusion of GIPRA
Other: Intravenous infusion of saline
Registration Number
NCT06208904
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Gentofte, Copenhagen
Brief Summary

The present study investigates the involvement of the gut hormone glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) in the pathophysiology of postprandial hypotension (PPH)

Detailed Description

The study is an exploratory, randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind crossover study comprising two experimental days with an infusion of the GIP receptor antagonist, GIP(3-30)NH2 (NH2 is the aminogroup), and placebo (saline) during a 180-minute mixed meal test (MMT). Eighteen participants, men and women, with MMT confirmed PPH will be included in the study.
