Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in adult males with Type 2 diabetes mellitus and non-diabetic subjects; the two groups were age-matched. Within each group, half received GC811007 2400 mg/day taken once daily for the six day treatment period before breakfast, supplied as 300-mg capsules; and half received placebo. After the screening visit, subjects resided at the study site for a 6-day baseline period and a 6-day treatment period, during which all food and beverages were provided and measured to control intake of dietary Cu and other trace metals.
