Insulin Detemir Action in Cerebro

Summary

The aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that subcutaneous administration of insulin detemir, as compared to insulin NPH, leads to a more pronounced effect on cerebral glucose metabolism and/or cerebral blood flow in brain regions associated with appetite regulation, to account for the reported difference in weight.
