Clinical trials: Brain Insulin-sensitivity
Ectopic Lipids, Insulin Sensitivity
The Effect of Dietary Fat Load and Physical Exercise on the Flexibility and Partitioning of Ectopic Lipids.
This study aims at assessing the effect of standardized dietary fat load and short-term aerobic exercise on systemic lipolysis, flexibility and partitioning of ectopic fat stores (intramyocellular = IMCL, intrahepatocellular =…

Obesity, Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2
Effect of High Caloric Diet on Brain Insulin Sensitivity and Inflammation
Obesity if known to be associated with brain insulin resistance in humans and evidence is rapidly accumulating that brain insulin resistance influences peripheral metabolism, eating behavior and cognition.

Acromegaly
Growth Hormone, IGF-1 and Medical Treatment in Acromegaly: Are There Effects on Gut Hormone Physiology and Postprandial Substrate Metabolism?
Acromegaly is a rare hormonal disorder leading to increased morbidity and mortality. In the vast majority of cases, a pituitary somatotroph cell adenoma causes excess growth hormone (GH) secretion, leading to hepatic…
