Brief Summary

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

To examine the differential effect of camel and cow milk on the physiological response, to a liquid mixed-meal challenge, in people with normal glucose tolerance

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Camel milk is used as a traditional remedy throughout the Middle East and Indian Subcontinent for conditions such as type 2 diabetes and dyslipidemia. It is currently unclear how such an effect could be mediated in vivo and studies are limited. We performed this study as a pilot experiment to assess the effects of camel milk on Insulin, Glucose, GLP-1, C-peptide and Lipid profile.
