Effects of Endogenous GIP on Postprandial Blood Pressure in Healthy Individuals (GA-25)

September 1, 2025 updated by: lise wilki-kurtzhals, University Hospital, Gentofte, Copenhagen
The present study investigates the postprandial role of endogenous glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) on cardiovascular haemodynamics, hormone responses, and hypotensive symptoms during a tilt test.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The study is an exploratory, randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blinded crossover study comprising four experimental days. Each experimental day consists of a mixed meal test or drinking water, a double-blinded continuous infusion of GIP(3-30)NH2 or placebo or GIP(1-42) or placebo, and three tilt tests. Sixteen healthy men and women will be included in the study.
