Measuring brain sugar use with glucagon
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to measure how the brain uses sugar (glucose) to see if the hormone glucagon affects it. It may help researchers understand how certain hormones work in the body.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study uses brain scans to see how blood flow and sugar transport work in people with both Alzheimer's disease and type 2 diabetes. It may help doctors understand how these conditions interact and find better treatments.
This study looks at how people with fatty liver and type 2 diabetes respond to glucagon, a hormone that helps control blood sugar. It may help researchers understand a condition called 'glucagon resistance' and find better treatments.
This study uses a special full-body PET scan to see how two natural hormones, GIP and GLP-1, affect how your body uses sugar and moves blood. It includes healthy volunteers and people with type 2 diabetes who are on metformin only.
This study uses a special PET scan to see how the brain uses sugar (glucose) in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) compared to healthy volunteers. It may help researchers understand energy changes in the brain related to MS.
This study uses brain imaging to measure two things in the brain—amyloid protein and how the brain uses sugar. It may help researchers better understand early brain changes in people in the ALFA project.
This trial looks at how the body uses sugar (glucose) for energy in people with and without obesity. Results could help find better treatments for metabolic conditions.
