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).
