Brief Summary

The goal of this crossover study is to investigate to what extend glucagon affects the kidneys. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does glucagon regulate kidney function through extraction in the kidney in addition to glomerular filtration? Does glucagon regulate kidney function by increasing renal plasma flow and glomerular filtration rate? Does glucagon regulate kidney function by increasing renal salt excretion?
