Official title
Evaluation of the Effect of Hypoglycemia on the Noradrenergic System With PET and a Highly Selective Norepinephrine Transporter Ligand
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The aim of this study is to use Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging to measure changes in norepinephrine transporter (NET) concentrations in the brain and periphery of healthy individuals during hypoglycemia. We hypothesize that during hypoglycemia, NE levels will increase within the brain, especially the hypothalamus, and this likely contributes to activation of glucose counterregulatory responses. We further hypothesize that during hypoglycemia, NET concentrations in key glucoregulatory regions will change in order to sustain or prolong sympathetic nervous system activation of counterregulatory responses.
