40The purpose of the present study is to conduct a thorough and relevant physiology study of carriers and non-carriers of the gene variant X in order to determine the effect of the genetic variant on various metabolic parameters.
FPIR: intravenous infusion of 20 % glucose 0.3 mg/kg in 2 minutes followed by blood sampling at times 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10. Duration 10 minutes. HEC: intravenous infusion of actrapid 1mU/kg/minute, simultaneous infusion of 20 % glucose at variable rate to reach plasma blood glucose level of 5 mmol/L.
