[11C]5-Hydroxy-tryptophan PET for Assessment of Islet Mass in Type 2 Diabetes

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Type2 Diabetes
Interventions
Radiation: Positron emission tomography with the tracer [11C]5-hydroxy-tryptophan
Registration Number
NCT02967354
Lead Sponsor
Per-Ola Carlsson
Brief Summary

Cross-sectional study to investigate subjects at different stages of type 2 diabetes development with expected stratification of pancreatic islet mass. Non-diabetic individuals were assigned as control. The primary outcome was the \[11C\]5-hydroxy-tryptophan uptake and retention in the pancreas as a surrogate marker for the endogenous islet mass.
