First seen May 12, 2026 · Last updated Jun 08, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study looks at how the hormone glucagon affects the brain's use of sugar (glucose) in healthy people aged 55 to 70. Twelve participants will receive infusions of glucagon, glucose, or saline on three separate days, and have PET/CT scans to measure brain activity. The goal is to understand basic brain metabolism, not to treat any disease.
