Summary

The purpose of the study is to standardize a meal test to facilitate future studies of the postprandial glucagons-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) response in Chinese subjects. Eighteen healthy Chinese subjects, aged between 20-65 years old, without history of diabetes, will be recruited for the study. Each subject will receive two mixed meal tests for postprandial GLP-1 excursion at random order: 60 % carbohydrate (CHO)/20 % fat vs. 50 % CHO/30 % fat. The postprandial glucose, insulin, glucagon and other related hormones responses will also be measured. Through the study, we hope to build up a platform for the study of the postprandial GLP-1 response and insulin secretion.
