Summary
The aim of this study is to investigate the role of transmission via the vagal nerve for the
effect of Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) in respect to gastric emptying, appetite and food
intake.
The hypothesis is that a great deal of the effects of GLP-1 is mediated via the nervous
system and for this reason the researchers will investigate individuals with and without
intact nervous supply.
