Study summary

The overarching goal of the current study is to investigate the effect of GLP-1 on brain insulin responsiveness in a randomized, single-blinded, within subject cross-over study design. To this end, investigators will compare the effect of the administration of semaglutide versus placebo, followed by an fMRI with administration of intranasal insulin or placebo.
