Effect of Bile Acids on GLP-1 Secretion

December 21, 2013 updated by: Morten Hansen, University Hospital, Gentofte, Copenhagen

Effect of Bile Acids in the Gut on GLP-1 Secretion in Healthy Subjects and Patients With Type 2 Diabetes

The purpose of this study is to describe the physiological, pathophysiological and potentially therapeutic implications of bile-induced glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) secretion in human glucose homeostasis.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The investigators hypothesize that even modest increments in endogenous GLP-1 secretion will elicit important antidiabetic effects of GLP-1. To evaluate whether bile acids have such effects, the investigators plan to perform intraduodenal infusion of two different bile acids and placebo.
