Hyperglycemic clamp

Pancreas Muscle

State-of-the-art method for investigating your compound's efficacy on pancreatic ß-cell function in type 2 diabetes. Hyperglycemia is maintained to stimulate insulin secretion.

Key benefits

  • Sensitivity to detect a statistically significant impact of your compound on insulin secretion,
  • Designed to gain an overview of pancreatic β-cell function in vivo
  • Essential and robust data for your records:  a unique tool simultaneously integrating all factors involved in the control of insulin secretion (metabolites, hormones, neuroregulatory factors).
