Summary

In order to investigate the mechanisms underlying the hyperglucagonemia characterizing patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) we wish to test the following hypothesis: Do pancreatic alpha-cells exhibit inappropriate glucagon responses to substances released from the small intestine (GIP, GLP-2 and GLP-2) in patients with T2DM?

Conditions

Interventions

BIOLOGICAL

Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2)

Day A: Oral glucose tolerance test (50g glucose) Day B: Isoglycemic intravenous (iv) glucose infusion Day C: Isoglycemic iv glucose infusion + iv GIP infusion (0-20 min: 4 pmol/kg body weight/min; 20-50 min: 2 pmol/kg body weight/min) Day D: Isoglycemic iv glucose infusion + iv GLP-1 infusion (0-20 min: 0,6 pmol/kg body weight/min; 20-50 min: 0,3 pmol/kg body weight/min) Day E: Isoglycemic iv glucose infusion + iv GLP-2 infusion (0-20 min: 1 pmol/kg body weight/min; 20-50 min: 0,5 pmol/kg body wight/min) Day F: Isoglycemic iv glucose infusion + iv infusion of GIP, GLP-1 and GLP-2 in doses as Day C, D and E.
