What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This study investigates how the naturally occurring gut hormones GIP and GLP-1 influence whole-body glucose uptake and organ perfusion in humans. Using a state-of-the-art total-body PET-CT scanner, the study measures dynamic uptake of the glucose analogue 18F-FDG and blood flow using H₂¹⁵O across multiple organs during controlled elevations of plasma glucose and endogenous insulin secretion. The project consists of two sub-studies. Sub-study 1 includes healthy individuals who undergo three experimental visits with infusions of GIP, GLP-1, or saline (placebo) during a hyperglycemic clamp followed by FDG PET-CT scanning. Sub-study 2 includes healthy individuals and participants with type 2 diabetes who undergo two experimental visits with saline followed by either GIP or GLP-1 during a hyperglycemic clamp, combined with repeated H₂¹⁵O PET-CT measurements of perfusion. The primary aims a
