Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Subjects will be studied twice in crossover fashion, with at least 5 days between study days. On each day, the subject will arrive at the Royal Adelaide Hospital at approximately 0830. An intraduodenal catheter (diameter 3.5 mm; Dentsleeve, Ontario, Canada) will be inserted through an anaesthetised nostril and allowed to pass through the stomach and into the duodenum by peristalsis. The assembly will contain an infusion channel, located about 12 cm distally from the pylorus. The correct positioning of the catheter will be maintained by continuous measurement of the transmucosal potential difference (TMPD) from manometry side holes in the antrum and duodenum. For this purpose, a cannula filled with sterile saline will be placed subcutaneously in the left forearm and used as a reference electrode. The antral and duodenal channels will be perfused with degassed 0.9 % saline at 0.15 ml/minute. An intravenous cannula will be also be inserted to facilitate subsequent blood sampling.

At T = -60, 4667mg of SuperCitriMax (Registered Trademark, InterHealth Nutraceuticals Incorporated) containing 2800mg of HCA, dissolved in 420 ml water or placebo (saline matched for osmolality) will be administered intraduodenally over 60 minutes. Then, at T = 0, intraduodenal glucose will be administered at a rate of 2 ml/min of 25% glucose (2 kcal/minute) for 120 minutes along with (in healthy subjects only) 5 g of 3-O-methylglcuose to facilitate measurement of exogenous glucose absorption.
