Brief summary
This clinical, randomized, cross-over study in obese healthy subjects aimed to analyse the acute effects of the incretin hormon Glucose Dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide (GIP) on metabolic parameters and gene expression in subcutaneous adipose tissue.
Interventions
GIP-Infusions for 4 h in a postprandial concentration
