Brief summary

Acute, double-blinded, randomized, cross-over cafestol intervention study with fifteen participants with a large waist circumference participating in three OGTTs.

Detailed description

The study is a acute, double-blinded, randomized, controlled intervention in 15 subjects with abdominal obesity at high risk of developing T2D. Initially, a blood sample is obtained (t=-15 min) and at time point 0, the participants will ingest a capsule containing either 6 or 12mg cafestol or placebo. Immediately hereafter an OGTT commences with ingestion of a 75 g glucose solution. In the following 2 hours blood samples are collected at time points 15, 30, 60, 90, 120 and 180 min. The samples will be used for determination of plasma glucose, insulin and cafestol, as well as GLP-1 and GIP. After a one-week washout period, the subject will undergo the same set-up again, however now with the different dosage of cafestol or placebo. The process is repeated for three weeks until every subject has undergone both interventions and the placebo.
