Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of the study is to investigate whether insulin sensitivity and insulin resistance of the human brain is comparable in all insulin sensitive parts of the brain and whether correlates to other phenotypic information (i.e. whole body insulin sensitivity, BMI, age) of the study participants.
