Trial summary

The incretin effect in patients with type two diabetes is reduced. The investigators have previously shown that it is possible to induce a defect in the incretin effect in healthy individuals. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Insulinotropic Effect of GIP and GLP-1 Before and After Reduced Glucose Induced by Steroid Treatment, Relative Physical Inactivity and High Calorie Diet

The incretin effect in patients with type two diabetes is reduced. The investigators have previously shown that it is possible to induce a defect in the incretin effect in healthy individuals. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the insulinotropic affect of the incretin hormones in healthy individuals before and after a deterioration of the glucose homeostasis.

Read the detailed description

The incretin effect in patients with type two diabetes is reduced. The investigators have previously shown that it is possible to induce a defect in the incretin effect in healthy individuals. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the insulinotropic affect of the incretin hormones in healthy individuals before and after a deterioration of the glucose homeostasis. The evaluation is done by infusing GIP, GLP-1 or saline during hyperglycemic clamps.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Steroid hormoneBehavioural

    Also called Prednisolone

    Steroid hormone: 37,5 mg of prednisolone; High energy diet: 130 % of recommended daily energy intake; Relative physical inactivity: no exercise and at least 8 hours of rest/day

  • No interventionOther

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Insulinotropic effect of incretin hormones

    Measured: 12 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Plasma concentration of glucagon

    Measurements of plasma concentration of glucagon before and after 12 days intervention with steroid treatment, high calorie diet and relative physical inactivity

    Measured: 12 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Steroid hormone in people with Insulin Resistance and Deteriorated Glucose Homeostasis, run by Glostrup University Hospital, Copenhagen at 1 site in Denmark.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Jun 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Denmark. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Insulinotropic effect of incretin hormones (time frame: 12 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Jun 2011.
