- Area Under the Postprandial Curve (AUC) for Rate of Appearance (Ra) of Exogenous Glucose [ Time Frame: Day 1 and Day 4 (pre-meal, every half hour till 5 hour on Day 1 and Day 4) ]Glucose fluxes during a mixed meal were measured using a dual glucose tracer method and non-steady state Steele equations. The rate of appearance of meal (or exogenous) glucose in the blood (also referred to as intestinal glucose absorption or Ra meal) after a mixed meal following LIK066 administration on Days 1 and 4 was the primary PD assessment in this study.The postprandial AUC was calculated using the linear trapezoidal rule. The sample collected at 7 hours after the start of the infusion was treated as the pre-meal, 0 hour measurement for the AUC0-5 hr calculation.
