    Outcomes

    Primary Outcome Measures

    Insulin Secretion Rate (ISR) During 190 - 340 Minutes Post-dose
    ISR was estimated by the deconvolution of peripheral C-peptide concentrations using a 2-compartment model that utilizes population C-peptide kinetic parameters.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    Glucose Infusion Rate (GIR) During 190 - 340 Minutes Post-dose
    Glucose Infusion Rate required to maintain the target glucose level of 160 milligrams / deciliter (mg/dL) ; GIR was normalized to subject's body weight (kg).
