Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Intravenous Glucagon-like peptide-1 (reconstituted in 4%albumin) at 1.2pmol/kg/min will be administered for 270 min at 1ml/min. The infusion will commence 30 minutes prior to the commencement of intestinal nutrient infusion. Seperated by 24 hours the cross-over treatment is placebo (intravenous 4% Albumin at 1ml/min for 270 min), again commenced 30 minutes prior to intestinal nutrient infusion
Intervention code [1] 241132 0
Treatment: Drugs
Comparator / control treatment
Cross-over study Cross-over treatment is 4% albumin infusion (which has no effect on blood glucose) infused at 1ml/min between t=0-270minutes
Control group
Active

Purpose of the study
Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the Royal Adelaide Hospital will be screened. Next of kin will be approached for informed consent. Synthetic GLP-1-(7-36) amide is reconstituted by the Royal Adelaide Hospital department of pharmacy, as a solution in 4% albumin. Randomisation is performed by the department of pharmacy, so that on each study day the investigators receive the study drug in a glass bottle covered by black plastic
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)

Masking / blinding
