Glucose Clamp Seminar


  • Dates: 07 Oct, 2015
  • Location: Odense, Denmark
The glucose clamp technique is used for pharmacodynamics studies in anti-diabetes drug development and diagnostic evaluation. The technique involves continuous intravenous infusion of glucose, or insulin and glucose combined. Multiple blood samples are required to establish steady state glucose levels. Clamp studies in rodents, however, require specialized skills such as microsurgery and blood sampling. Developments in infusion equipment and glucose sensors as well as refined microsurgical techniques have improved the glucose clamp technique over the years. With this seminar we would like to inform you about state-of-the-art glucose clamp technique in rodents. The focus of this seminar will be the actual experimental techniques needed for successful clamping: blood sampling technique (acute and chronic), continuous infusion, continuous glucose measurement and catheterization of blood vessels. We have the ambitious aim of improving glucose clamp technique in rodents by bringing you together!

About DSI Events

Data Sciences International (DSI) is involved in over 60 events every year. These include scientific meetings such as industry trade shows, courses and seminars, workshops, as well as educational user groups and symposia all over the world.

DSI supported educational events are scientific meetings organized in cooperation with a local institution or society, pharmaceutical company, university, or local telemetry user group. Educational event meetings serve as an educational forum in which researchers can freely share current scientific information with their peers, students, and other interested scientists.

Common to the general theme of the meetings is the data collected through physiological monitoring of freely moving conscious laboratory animals made possible through the use of fully implantable telemetry technology.

Presentations and posters on the latest methods employed by the presenting researchers enable those attending to benefit from the as yet unpublished work of peers. Presentations can be on a wide range of related research topics including surgical implantation methods, data analysis methods, treatment effects of new pharmaceutical compounds, new animal models, behavioral and physiological interactions, basic research on physiological systems, and numerous other whole animal chronic monitoring research topics.

Meetings are held in classroom style with ample time allowed for questions and discussion among the participants. Typical audience sizes run from 40 to 120.
