Study Summary

This research study will examine brain glucose metabolism after an overnight fast to determine the effect of exenatide on brain glucose metabolism and lipid metabolism.

Primary Outcome

To study the acute effect of exenatide on brain glucose metabolism after the glucose load. Brain glucose uptake will be determined from serial FDG PET-imaging, by using graphical methods to quantify both global and regional results. The results obtained after Exenatide injection will be compared with the ones obtained after injection of placebo in the same subject.

Interventions
