Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Subjects will participate in two separate occasions at least five days apart after fasting from solids for 14 h and liquids for 12 h. Subjects will receive a phone call the day before the study to remind them of the requirement to fast and this will also be queried on the morning of the study.
After a rest-period of 15-30 minutes to allow baseline BP to settle, subjects will be given: in random order, either:
(i) a test drink containing 50 g glucose labelled with 20 MBq 99mTc-calcium phytate, made up to 300ml water
(ii) a preload containing 20g whey protein and 5g guar (Omniblend) made up to 150ml with water 15 minutes before the ingestion of the test drink.

Subjects will undergo concurrent measurements of gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms (questionnaire), gastric emptying (scintigraphy), blood pressure, heart rate (DINAMAP), superior mesenteric artery blood flow (Doppler ultrasound), blood glucose, serum insulin, plasma Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) and glucose absorption (utilising 3-OMG).
