The Glucose-Independent Effects of Exogenous Glucagon on Insulin Secretion and Cognitive Function in Healthy Subjects
Sponsor: Nicolai Jacob Wewer Albrechtsen
Summary
In this study the investigators will investigate the glucose-independent effects of exogenous glucagon on insulin secretion and cognitive function in healthy subjects. Subjects will participate in two study days. The first study day is with a 240-minute infusion of glucagon and the second study day is with an infusion of glucose (clamped to match the glucose levels measured during the glucagon infusion). During the study day, blood samples will be drawn frequently and cognitive testing will be performed. The investigators will investigate glucagon's glucose-independent effects on insulin secretion and cognitive function by comparing plasma measures of C-peptide and cognitive test scores between the glucagon study day and the glucose clamp study day.

Interventions
Glucagon Infusion
A 240 minutes infusion of glucagon (10 ng/kg/min)
Glucose clamp
A 240 minutes infusion of 20 % w/v glucose. The infusion rate of glucose will be adjusted continuously to match the levels of glucose measured on the glucagon study day.
