Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| he primary outcome parameters of this study is whole-body insulin stimulated glucose uptake expressed per kg body weight and per unit of plasma insulin concentration (M/I-value (mg/kg/min per pmol/L)) as well as homeostatic model assessment for Insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The secondary outcome parameters are 1) insulin-stimulated glucose uptake (Ki) in skeletal muscle, adipose tissue, liver, and tumour measured by [18F]-FDG PET, and 2) Plasma and tissue inflammatory cytokine levels measured with ELISA or qPCR. | — |
