Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

To assess whether a single day infusion of the GLP-1 RA exenatide, as compared to placebo, reverses GC-induced impairment of glucose metabolism in healthy males, quantified as glucose tolerance (AUCgluc) during a standardized mixed-meal test

Secondary Outcome Measures

To assess whether a single day infusion of the GLP-1 RA exenatide, as compared to placebo, reverses GC-induced acute beta-cell dysfunction in healthy males, quantified as Various measures of beta-cell function
