| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| During euglycemic condition (blood glucose level of ~5.3 mM) the primary glucose levels and the uptake and metabolic rate of 13C-labeled glucose in the brain are determined. The pilot study is finished when all measurements can successfully be performed. In this case the report of the pilot study will be used to design a larger study to develop the 13C-MRS method further and to verify the results. | — |
