The Antiemetic Effects of Increased Splanchnic Perfusion, Induced by the Gut Hormone GIP, in Healthy Individuals
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Glucose-dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide (GIP): GIP - gut hormone
GLP-1 (7-36) amide: gut hormone - GLP-1(7-36)NH2
Apomorphine Injectable Solution: used as a tool to induce nausea
Saline (0.9% NaCl): Placebo
Study summary
This study investigates whether the gut hormone glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) can reduce feelings of nausea. GIP is naturally released after meals and is administered intravenously to healthy participants during the experiment. Nausea is induced using either glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), another gut hormone, or apomorphine, a medication known to trigger nausea. By combining these substances, the study aims to determine whether GIP can alleviate nausea. The findings may improve understanding of interactions between the gut and the brain.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Change in GLP-1 induced nausea intensity — From enrollment to the end of treatment at up to 12 weeks.
The primary endpoint is the change in GLP-1-induced nausea intensity, measured by a 0-100 mm visual analogue scale (VAS), between study visits, with and without GIP infusion.
