Sponsor's own description

Energy regulation in humans is controlled through complicated mechanisms involving among others hormones secreted from different tissues, such as gut, muscle and adipose tissue. Specifically, the hormonal secretion after nutrient intake mediates the metabolic response in order to maintain energy balance. Proglucagon-derived hormones and especially GLP-1 and glucagon are significantly affected by nutrient intake and by energy balance. Despite the extensive information about GLP-1 and glucagon, it remains unclear whether other proglucagon-derived hormones are regulated by nutrition or by energy status i.e. obesity or type 2 diabetes. Similarly, secretion of activins and follistatins, which are both affecting muscle metabolism-growth and consequently energy homeostasis, are reduced in energy deprivation states. However, we do not know whether the circulating profile of these hormones is affected acutely by nutrient intake and whether these changes have acute effects on muscle metabolism. We propose to conduct a non-blinded interventional study evaluating the effects of oral or intravenous glucose intake in the circulating levels of proglucagon-derived hormones, activin A, activin B, follistatin, follistatin-like 3.
