Brief summary
OUTCOMES The primary outcome measures are *peak duodenal bicarbonate concentration and pancreatic bicarbonate output (bicarbonate volume times bicarbonate concentration) *peak duodenal amylase concentration and amylase concentration area under the curve (time equals 0 to 60 minutes) Secondary outcome measures are *Plasma concentrations of amylase and lipase
Interventions
IV GLP-1 (1.2 pmol/kg/min) infusion or placebo will be administrated to participants over 2 visits. Participants will receive a second IV containing either Secretin (75ng/kg/hr) and CCK (20ng/kg/hr) or placebo over 2 visits. Adherence of intervention will be monitored by both the clinical trial pharmacy and the researchers in the study to ensure the participants receive the correct treatment/placebo on any given trial day.
