Healthy Study Participants Needed for Research Study

07/09/2024

SLU Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism Research is looking for volunteers for a research study.  We are seeking healthy individuals without diabetes, age 18-65 years of age.

The purpose of this research is to study the levels of a hormone called neuronostatin in healthy individuals, and compare it with the levels found in individuals with Type I diabetes.  This may help researchers better understand how this hormone works in Type I diabetes.

Study participation will consist of two (2) study visits, at least one (1) week apart. Subjects will undergo a meal study, and then an insulin infusion procedure.

Financial compensation is available to qualifying participants.

For more information about this study, please contact Jennifer Newman, Research Nurse Coordinator, at 314-977-9320 (phone), or by email at jennifer.newman@health.slu.edu.  

This research study is being conducted under the direction of Sandeep Dhindsa, M.D., and in collaboration with Gina Yosten, Ph.D.
