BNP3: Effect of Nesiritide Infusion on Insulin Sensitivity in Healthy Obese Insulin Resistant Subjects
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of the study is to compare the effects of nesiritide to placebo administered by a continuous IV infusion over 48 hours for the treatment of insulin resistance in healthy, obese, insulin resistant individuals.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
