Conditions
Type 2 Diabetes
Interventions
Dietary Supplement: Oleic acid
Dietary Supplement: GPR 119 agonist, 2-oleyl glycerol
Dietary Supplement: Vehicle
Registration Number
NCT01043445
Lead Sponsor
Glostrup University Hospital, Copenhagen
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of different ligands of GPR 119 (a G protein-coupled receptor in the intestine) on the secretion of the incretin hormones, GLP-1 and GIP.

Detailed Description

We have found a new ligand for the GPR 119 receptor. This study evaluate the impact of this ligand on the incretion hormone responses, beta cell function and gall bladder function in healthy young men.
